More information
Named in honor of Alan Meighan’s daughter. Used extensively for cut flowers since its introduction. The blooms keep well at the half-open stage; buds are warm coral pink. They open into densely petalled, pale salmon to flesh-pink, old-fashioned-style flowers. The flowers are produced in large numbers and are offset by dark green foliage. The color fades in heat, and the blooms are vulnerable to rain. Sonia Meilland is widely used as a cutting variety.
Widely cultivated as a cut rose worldwide. The flowers are salmon pink with coral and yellow tones, opening from buds. They are large, with a strong fruity fragrance, though the color fades in heat. Foliage is dense and dark green. Requires protection from fungal diseases. Prefers full sun and well-drained soils.
