Named in honor of the legendary French Impressionist painter Claude Oscar Monet (1840–1926), this rose is as captivating and dreamy as the water lilies in Monet’s garden at Giverny. With petals streaked and swirled in red, pink, and cream—like paint on canvas—each bloom is a unique, living artwork.
