Exquisite rose showacse in Franschhoek
La Motte Wine Estate is hosting a new art experience for the summer season: ROSE’D opens on 18 October, and runs until 22 February 2026, and draws its inspiration from the flourish of spring and summer as well as the many forms of the rose.
The exhibition showcases rose-inspired art by the acclaimed Heike Taschner Jeske, whose extensive experience developed from a childhood devotion influenced by her father, renowned rose farmer, Ludwig Taschner.
For this exhibition, Heike’s signature installation presents an immersive, larger-than-life rose that appears to burst from the walls, blooming across the ceiling, drawing visitors in to experience it as though they were a tiny creature marvelling at its grandeur.
In addition to this immersive rose experience, La Motte invited artists through an Open Call to submit works to the theme of Flourish, deepening the universal appreciation of the rose.
A diverse and exciting series of floral-inspired workshops will be presented alongside the exhibition. The full workshop schedule at La Motte Ateljee runs from October 2025 to January 2026.
The rose theme will extend to the other experiences on La Motte and guests can expect a touch of rose in the Tasting Room, Bakery, L’Ami Family Brasserie, Spens, and of course from a lovely selection of gifts and treats in the Farm Shop.
