The patent application describes MEIviolin as a climbing shrub.

Meilland also introduced a Hybrid Tea in 1950, 'Eden,' which produced a climbing sport that was introduced in Europe in 1962. These are both different from Pierre de Ronsard.
Participated in the 1987 Monza Competition. (Source: Website Roseto Niso Fumagalli.)
