THE ROSE / LA CRÈME
THE FIRST1 COSMETIC ROSE FACETED
FOR SKINCARE, WITH EXCEPTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
The queen of flowers has made her mark on the House of Dior, but only one – the most extraordinary of all – infuses the Dior Prestige skincare line: the Rose de Granville. It possesses an exceptional life force and a unique power of resilience that gives it, twice a year, the ability to be reborn. A gem shaped by nature, and progressively faceted by science.

The constant patience and exacting standards of the genius rose grower and breeder Jérôme Rateau led to the creation of a unique1 rose, the Rose de Granville. This one, out of 40,000 others, is graced with an extraordinary genetic heritage: from its stem to its petals, the Rose de Granville boasts a phytochemical wealth of over 120 molecules.

A MOLECULAR RESERVOIR OF YOUTH,
WITH PROVEN SUPERIORITY
Fascinated by its extraordinary vitality and unprecedented capacity for resilience when faced with the most extreme types of stress, Dior science continued trying to unlock the secrets of the Rose de Granville’s power, which surpasses that of the most well-known roses.1. From the stem to the flower, via the bud and the fruit, Dior science identified state-of-the-art extraction processes that respect the plant, to capture the molecular powers of the different organs of the Rose and deliver them to the skin.

Today, the Rose de Granville’s active ingredients demonstrate their superiority over the benchmark molecules in preserving youth.

Because a floral gem such as this one requires an exceptional setting and care, in June 2021, Dior gave it the new Dior Rose Garden, the House’s first rose nursery, committed to regenerative cultivation1.

A NEW, REGENERATIVE SETTING:
THE DIOR ROSE GARDEN
Located in the Granville basin, just 20 km from the Villa Les Rhumbs and the cliffs of its wild ancestor, the Rose de Granville is cultivated at the very roots of its genesis. On 20 plots spread across 7 hectares, more than 32,000 rose bushes are already growing, and by 2023 there will be over 50,000.

The creation of the Dior Rose Garden illustrates the House of Dior’s profound commitment to preserving the existence and the richness of the living world.

Accompanied by Biosphere, specialists in agroecological transitions, the House of Dior is designing a project for the future. Beyond organic cultivation directly in the open ground, a 3-year research plan was created to develop the first regenerative cultivation1 for and around the rose. Like all the Dior gardens and suppliers, by 2023, the Dior Rose Garden will be certified by the UEBT (Union for Ethical BioTrade), of which Dior is a member.

This new type of cultivation aims to have a measurable impact on biodiversity, the health and richness of the soil, its resilience, as well as its capacity for capturing carbon and its aptitude for preserving all the richness of the Rose de Granville.

A LABORATORY OF THE LIVING WORLD
DEDICATED TO THE ROSE
More than a garden, the Dior Rose Garden is a place of innovation and transmission of knowledge.
The Rose de Granville is cultivated in the open ground, under the constant supervision of Nicolas Sambet, the garden’s horticulturalist-nurseryman.
He was trained by the creator of the Rose de Granville, Jérôme Rateau, respecting the ancestral expertise inherited from André Eve, a pioneer in rose cultivation.

From 2022, the Dior Rose Garden will be transformed into a laboratory of the living world to develop a new active ingredient.
