Rose - Papa Meiland Climbing

Common Name:
Rose 'Papa Meilland Climbing'

Description:
Rose 'Papa Meilland Climbing' is the climbing form of the famous hybrid tea rose 'Papa Meilland', cherished worldwide for its velvety dark red blooms and rich, intoxicating fragrance. The large, high-centred flowers are borne on long stems and appear repeatedly from late spring through summer and into autumn. Each bloom carries an intensely strong, old-rose perfume with spicy undertones, making it one of the most fragrant climbing roses available. This variety produces vigorous, tall canes and requires sturdy support, such as an arch, pergola, wall, or trellis. Its glossy dark green foliage contrasts beautifully with the deep crimson blooms. In Melbourne gardens, it thrives in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil, rewarding with luxurious colour, scent, and vertical impact.
