In 1913 Gertrude Stein wrote the line of poetry “A Rose Is A Rose Is A Rose”. In 1991, just a few blocks away (4, rue de Tournon) from her home off the Jardin du Luxembourg, Au Nom de la Rose made her words come to life.

Walk into a shop and you’re enveloped in Tango, Piaget, Papa Meilland scented roses. They use over twenty varieties, some from their own bushes in the Nimes region, others from one of the last garden rose producers in Hyeres and as far away as Ecuador and Kenya. The concept is theirs alone and they’re expanding their franchise all over Europe. Thankfully, you can order their fragrant products online or drop by one of your neighborhood shops for a truly rosariffic experience. Their small bouquets make the perfect gift for your dinner party hostess.
