‘Christian Dior’/MEIlie = Hybride de Thé… grande fleur sophistiquée… 55 pétales d’un rouge cramoisi brillant lavé d’écarlate au revers. Idéalement formée avec un cœur turbiné et des pétales roulottés en pointes, elle parachève sa toilette d’une touche de parfum subtil… buisson dense au feuillage ferme et luisant… Si on le protège de l’oïdium, sa végétation est remarquablement saine. Meilland, France, 1958.

David Ruston, South Australia. Roses of Distinction. 
'Christian Dior' is always easily identified in the garden by its very dark wood, ungainly habit of growth, large bush and by the orange base to each petal. When picked and used with other red roses in the home most of the others will turn to a blue-red, but this one retains its colour and form amazingly well.
