In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that. Requires spring freeze protection (see glossary - Spring freeze protection) . Can be grown in the ground or in a container (container requires winter protection).
Notes:
Francois Meilland named the rose for his mother Madame A Meilland and it was poised for introduction in 1939. This name is the original and thus botanically correct. (Royal National Rose Society, Historic Rose Journal No.32 Autumn 2006 page11)
Some difference of opinion about parentage, see References for more information. The parentage we use here is taken from a 1950 interview of Antoine Meilland by George Adam which is recounted inMeilland: A Life in Roses, by Alain Meilland. Again, see References. Please also see the post from Paul Barden on this rose's "Comments & Questions" tab posted on 8 MAY 2006. |
