Outstanding blooms in dark, velvety crimson with a very vigorous fragrance. Deep green, glossy foliage on an upright-growing shrub. The blooms are also well suited for pruning.
This epitome of a red rose requires winter protection in colder climates and in exposed locations. Its leaf health demands attention. Therefore, unfortunately, we can only recommend it for enthusiasts and collectors.

A dream of a dark red rose with a dreamy fragrance - but unfortunately susceptible to powdery mildew, and it froze to death in its container last winter....Automatically translated · Show original
Papa Meilland is a dream of a rose. Velvety dark red and fabulous fragrance. One rose in a vase and the whole living room smells of roses. But with this rose it's like with a beautiful woman: as a rule you don't have her all to yourself. You have to share her with other rivals: powdery mildew, black spot, winter frost.

Papa Meilland is truly uniquely beautiful and smells spectacular. After black spot it also got hit by a severe early frost and died. But I'm not giving up yet, I now have it as a standard. I treat it regularly and in winter I will wrap it up.Automatically translated · Show original
