Journées de la Rose au Domaine de Chaalis

An exceptional setting for the queen of flowers

Every year, on the second weekend of June, the Domaine de Chaalis opens its doors to rose lovers. This former 12th-century royal abbey, located in Fontaine-Chaalis in the Oise, houses a rose garden classified as a Remarkable Garden which provides the ideal setting for these days dedicated to the queen of flowers.

130 passionate exhibitors

Around 130 exhibitors from all over France set up in the grounds of the estate to share their passion. Rose growers, nurserymen, landscapers, artisans, and garden specialists offer rare and common varieties, gardening tools, specialized books, and artisanal creations inspired by the rose.

An exceptional patron

Each edition is placed under the patronage of a personality from the world of culture, science, or botany. In 2025, historian Michel Pastoureau was the patron of the 24th edition dedicated to the theme “The Rose and Color”. This patronage brings an intellectual and cultural dimension to the event.

Conferences and workshops

The Journées de la Rose offer a program of conferences led by specialists in botany, garden history, and floral art. Practical workshops allow visitors to learn pruning, cutting, and floral arrangement techniques.

The Chaalis rose garden

The rose garden of the Domaine de Chaalis, classified as a Remarkable Garden, is the natural setting for the event. Created at the beginning of the 20th century, it houses an exceptional collection of old and modern roses, organized into thematic beds in a landscape of great elegance.

The Domaine de Chaalis

Beyond the rose garden, visitors can discover the Domaine de Chaalis as a whole: the remains of the Cistercian abbey, the Jacquemart-André museum and its art collections, the 80-hectare landscaped park, and the Sainte-Marie chapel adorned with frescoes by Primaticcio. Exceptional heritage that enriches the visitor experience.

25 years in 2026
