About Jules Gravereaux
- Jules Léopold Gravereaux (French pronunciation: ?[?yl le?p?ld g?av??o]; 1 May 1844 in Vitry-sur-Seine – 23 March 1916 in Paris) was a French rosarian.
- He was a top executive at the department store Le Bon Marché and in 1892 purchased land at the village of L'Haÿ about 8 km south of Paris.
- There, he built the first ever complete garden devoted exclusively to roses, the Roseraie de L'Haÿ.
- It became so popular that a few years later the village changed its name to L'Haÿ-les-Roses.
