Spectacular Chaenomeles flowers after 12 years of research! 🌸

Our new Double Delice® Range

Born from an ambitious hybridization program launched in 2013, Double Delice® is the result of 12 years of observation and rigorous testing. This range stands out for:


🌿 Completely Thornless: ideal for nurseries and growers—no pricks during propagation.
🌼 Abundant Blooming: a profusion of flowers along the entire length of the branches, ensuring an exceptional visual display and strong retail appeal.
🌱 Easy Propagation: upright habit, highly branched plant—perfect for efficient production.
💐 Long Vase Life: an extra advantage for bouquet lovers.

Each variety offers a unique color palette, allowing market players to choose according to different needs :

CHAENOMELES x speciosa DOUBLE DELICE® OPAL ‘Minchadf13603’ cov : Unique ! An extraordinary bloom that starts green, turns white, and finishes salmon pink. On a single flowering stem, you’ll see all three shades !

CHAENOMELES x speciosa DOUBLE DELICE® LOVE ‘Minchadf13225’ cov : A burst of vibrant, powerful red ;

CHAENOMELES x speciosa DOUBLE DELICE® PASSION ‘Minchadf13311’ cov : Large double flowers in salmon pink, blooming for at least 3 weeks before foliage appears ;

CHAENOMELES x speciosa DOUBLE DELICE® PURE ‘Minchadfbd’ cov : Magnificent and refined pure white double flowers.

Our New Variety Rouge Baiser®

Selected from the same hybridization program launched in 2013, with a clear goal: large double flowers, thornless, and highly floriferous. Rouge Baiser® stood out and has always caught visitors’ eyes thanks to its incredible and spectacular bloom, a vivid, luminous red.

However, its flowers were semi-double and medium-sized, which is why it could not join the Double Delice® range.
During its selection year, Rouge Baiser® bloomed three times between early February and late May! Thanks to all these outstanding features, we are confident in its future success among growers, garden centers, and gardeners.

Meet us at IPM Essen 2026 at our stand 2E24 for the official launch of the Double Delice® range and the new Rouge Baiser® variety!
