More information

Papa Meilland is a red Hybrid Tea noted for strong fragrance; the scent is bright, rich, and sweet, and the cultivar has received several awards for fragrance. Buds are elongated; blooms are dark, velvety red with a redder center and a well-formed outline. Flowers appear singly at the ends of long stems and perform well as cut flowers. Petals shatter readily. The plant forms an upright, thorny bush and performs best in hot climates. The foliage is susceptible to powdery mildew. Flowering is not abundant.

An upright bush to 1 m tall, with leathery, dark green foliage. The flowers are very fragrant, high-centered, deep crimson. It is very susceptible to powdery mildew and black spot and suffers severe winter freeze damage. Requires attentive disease management and winter protection.

Pointed buds open into dark, velvety crimson flowers of classic form. The large, highly fragrant blooms have about 35 petals and are borne singly on long stems. The foliage is leathery, glossy, olive green, on a strong, tall, upright bush. The rose is very susceptible to black spot and powdery mildew and is not winter hardy, with dieback occurring even in climates with mild winters.
