Located in the former meadow of the Benedictine convent, the Roseraie de Lassay is home to over 300 varieties of rose, some of them very old.
The rose garden is located in the former meadow of the Benedictine Convent. It is divided into two gardens in harmony with the surrounding landscape.
The first, a French-style garden, is built around an axis enhanced by a 50-metre-long wooden pergola. Through the pergola, visitors can travel back in time from botanical roses known since Antiquity and the Middle Ages to the most modern roses. The tour shows the various hybrids developed at different times. Bourbon, Mousseux, Hazelnut, Tea and English roses are arranged in squares on either side of the Pergola. Finally, sarmentosa and climbing roses cover this large structure.
The other part of the rose garden, linked by a line of laciniate maples, is more open in composition. Situated in a humid area, it brings together adapted species, roses and trees, often from North America, Labrador roses and Nitida... with their flamboyant autumn colours. The trees used are red oaks and American copalms, willows... a way of bringing another season to life. You can visit this part of the garden along paths laid on stabilised soil. This English-style garden provides a transition between a protected natural valley and a natural area, as part of an educational project for the children of the public school. Finally, a wooden footbridge crosses the stream.
Ideal time to visit: June to early September.
