Rose - Meidiland Red

Common name: Red Meidiland Rose

Description: The Red Meidiland Rose is a versatile groundcover rose introduced by Meilland International in 1989. This variety is renowned for its profuse clusters of single, crimson-red blooms, each featuring a distinctive white centre and prominent yellow stamens. The flowers, approximately 5cm in diameter, bloom continuously from late spring through autumn, providing a vibrant display throughout the growing season. The plant exhibits a low, spreading habit, with glossy, dark green foliage that turns yellow in the fall. In Melbourne's climate, the Red Meidiland Rose thrives in well-drained soils with full sun exposure. Its dense, mat-forming growth makes it ideal for use as groundcover, erosion control on slopes, or as a border edging. Additionally, this rose produces decorative red hips in the fall, adding seasonal interest to the landscape.
