Since 1907 the Bagatelle rose garden has been the setting for the prestigious annual rose competition, Concours International de Roses Nouvelles. As part of its 30 year anniversary, the house of Piaget used the famous competition to award several prizes to the most talented breeders Attended by representatives from ten different countries, the 105th ceremony took place in the rose garden of the Bagatelle Gardens, under the presidency of Alain Meilland. At Piaget, the rose symbolises passion - that of Yves Piaget, and of the designers, craftsmen and jewellers which it inspires. For the House of Piaget\'s first participation in the event, its CEO Philippe Léopold Metzger was eager to present the trophy personally to the winner of the main prize. The winner of the prestigious first prize would be awarded the \'Numéro 35\' rose created by Jérôme Rateau in the grouped flower rosebush category. This rose particularly touched the jury with its clustered flowers in shades of apricot, pearly white and yellow.
