There seems to be questions on how to get to the roseraie. The Roseraie of Val-de-Marne in l'Haÿ-les-Roses is located at:
Rue Albert Watel
94240 l'Haÿ-les-Roses
FRANCE
TEL: (33) 1 47 40 04 04
Annual opening:
According to the blooming season, from mid-May to mid-September,
from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
My friend Jean-Renaud writes that there are other times of the year when it is a sight to behold. In early March, for example, when it is all trimmed and the buds are just starting to sprout !! What a sight. Almost as breathtaking as when in full bloom. Indeed, it is closed at that time, but if you are a member of the association, there are possibilities...
The Assocication, "Les Amis de la Roseraie du Val-de-Marne", was formed to express the interests of the rose and its historical significance at l'Haÿ-les-Roses. The Association is made up of amateurs, growers, hybridizers, collectors, and scientists at the international level. Members study, preserve, popularize and support the roses and the art of the garden, as well as its future extension at Vitry-sur-Seine.

This garden lists as one of its cultivars the rose Valencia (Kordes 1967). How can this be confirmed? I am highly suspicious because: 1) Kordes has used the name Valencia three times in the past thirty-eight years, 2) Valencia (Kordes 1989) is the one more widely recognized and grown, 3) To my knowledge, Kordes sold the exclusive rights to the earlier Valencia to Jackson & Perkins, who subsequently made it their Rose of the Year in 1967. In other words, it was never made available in Europe. I am so determined to find this rose that I just might plan a trip to France! Please tell me what you know of this. Thank you for your time.

Daphne,
Do you mind if we move some of your information to the "Notes". Thanks for your help !
It would be REALLY great to have someone from the garden use the JOURNAL tab to record daily or weekly activity. Also, I hope they understand the are free to post their events on the EVENTS tab.

Sorry, I just now received the thumbnail picture that is shown with this post. Your name marker says: "Valencia" 1967, KOReklia. You see, this is the kind of careless nomenclature that is causing me a headache in my search for Valencia 1967!KOReklia is the coded name for New Valencia 1989, NOT the 1967 version. The 1967 Valencia never was assigned a coded name (KORxxxxx), because its introduction preceeded that practise. Therefore, I stand by all of my previous comments (see above). Thanking you for your interest and wishing you all the best in the future. Bob Marker, San Francisco, CA

Your picture definitely depicts the newer Valencia (1989) aka KOReklia. The earlier Valencia (1967) is more of a copper-gold-orange blend. If you are familiar with roses like Oldtimer (Coppertone), Brandy, About Face, Charming Vienna.....you would have a better idea as to the color of the older Valencia. Again, thanks for your interest and your thoughtful dialogue. Bob Marker, San Francisco, CA
