Rose - New Papa Meiland

Common Name:
New Papa Meilland Rose

Description:
Rosa 'New Papa Meilland' (Var. MEIceazar) is an updated version of the classic 'Papa Meilland' rose, offering the same rich, velvety red blooms with improved growth habit and disease resistance. Known for its intense fragrance and striking colour, this hybrid tea rose produces large, perfectly shaped flowers in a deep crimson red, often with darker undertones. The blooms are carried on long stems, making them ideal for cutting and floral displays. This variety flowers prolifically from spring through to autumn and brings a sense of luxury and romance to any garden setting. Well suited to Melbourne’s climate, 'New Papa Meilland' thrives in full sun and requires well-drained, fertile soil. With its improved vigour and hardiness, it’s a favourite for rose lovers who appreciate both beauty and scent in equal measure.
