Delbard is a plant nursery in France known for breeding disease resistant apple and various roses.
==History== thumb|'Dioressence', a rose cultivar developed by 'Delbard' in 1984. Delbard Nursery was founded by and named after George Delbard, who was breeding fruit trees more than seventy years ago, at his family farm in the area of Malicorne, Allier in central France. Later on, he added roses, dahlias, and other flowers to his breeding work. This business is continued and expanded by his grandson Arnaud Delbard, who is working close with the Institut national de la recherche agronomique which is a French governmental organization, as well as with other international collaboration for global selective breeding. thumb|'Folle courtisane' a cream rose cultivar developed by 'Delbar' in 1988.
