It requires little water and grows quickly, and tastes wonderfully with bitter orange, our traditional crop.

Everyone was asking us for HONEY, an exquisite product par excellence. So we had the idea of marrying acacia honey to our roses.
THIS HONEY has won two awards: Gold Medal at the Brignoles agricultural competition and Silver Medal at the Paris agricultural competition, which we buy from a fellow beekeeper in the Var, is sweet and tasty. It does not set, keeps indefinitely and has an extraordinary taste that seduces the most demanding.
CULTURE OF THE CENTIFOLIA ROSE
This is the centifolia rose (Rosa x centifolia). In the Grasse region, roses grafted onto Rosa indica rootstock, better suited to the Mediterranean climate, are traditionally preferred.We bought our organic plants from a fellow farmer, and now we take our own cuttings. Planted in the ground between November and January and watered, the roses are weeded by hand and fertilized with organic fertilizer. The highlight will be May, when the freshly opened roses will be harvested every morning for almost a month.
