In April 1909, the Real Estate Company of the
Paris Region organized a competition with its
architects to design a parish church at 196 rue de
Vanves, whose specifications were inspired by
Father Boyreau. The project chosen was that of
the architect Pierre Sardou for a church in
Romano-Byzantine style, probably with Roman-
Florentin influences, inspired by that of the Holy
Apostles of Florence. The church was built
between 1909 and 1911.
Unfortunately, the ciborium, the lights and the
gates of the choir were removed in 1967,
following the redevelopment of the choir after
the Second Vatican Council. Fortunately, since
the 2000s, the church has continued to be
embellished by contemporary works of great
quality. The "20th Century Heritage" label of the
Ministry of Culture was awarded to the Church of
Our Lady of the Rose in 2011.

The organ was built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll during the years
1880-1890 (exact date is unknown). It remained several years in
the workshop of the famous organ builder at the Avenue du
Maine, where it was used as demonstration organ. It was then
moved to the Sacré-cœur of Montmartre in anticipation of a new
Great Organ. In 1913, it was transferred to Notre Dame du
Rosaire.
Maintenance was done during many years by Gutschenritter,
followed by Marc Hédelin.
At an unknown moment, J. Picaud added a Plein Jeu IV at the Swell
(perhaps replacing an Octavin) at the request of the former
titulaire, Jean Fellot (probably in 1956, when there was an
inauguration by Marcel Dupré).
In 1968, the Bourdon 16 of the Great was replaced by a Doublette
2’.
The latest restoration dates from 2004 by Bernard Dargassies :
•
Removal of the Doublette of the Great
•
Addition of a new Octavin at the Swell
•
Replacement of the Bourdon of the Great, being in a bad
condition, by a Bourdon from the former Cavaillé-Coll organ
of the Opéra comique in Paris
•
Removal of the Plein Jeu of the Swell, added during the
1950’s and addition of a new Plein Jeu IV on the GO.
