'Caprice de Meilland ®' rose Reviews & Comments

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Fragrance should be “strong” as confirmed by the fragrance prizes it has won over the years. Personally I find the fragrance strong, complex and pleasing.

Origin and Breeding Controlled Pollination between seed parent (‘Meicelna’ x ‘Meipobil’) and pollen parent ‘Meihelvet’ (syn. Sonia). The seed parent is a non commercial breeding line. The seed was sown, germinated and grown to maturity with ‘Meisionver’ being selected for, medium pink flower colour, plant habit and strong fragrance. Propagation: by conventional T- budding method, all plants were found to be uniform and stable over several generations. Breeder: Alain Meilland, Meilland International Le Cannet France.

I think Caprice is the best rose in my garden. Puts up with any conditions: heat, burning sun, rain, cold, etc.. Has a very long flowering season. Loads of blooms, all perfectly formed. A little black spot at the end of the season, but that doesn't seem to bother it. Excellent as a cut flower, highly scented, long stems with very few thorns (the stems grow very quickly), one bloom per stem, repeat flowering all season. Perfect!
