We're thrilled to present you with the enchanting light pink rose, Francis Meilland! If you haven't experienced its beauty yet, you're in for a delightful treat—it's truly a garden treasure!
Francis Meilland holds a special place in our hearts, and we’re absolutely delighted that we decided to grow it back in 2015! It truly stands out among our roses, and it’s heartwarming to hear from our wonderful clients who cherish its enchanting fragrance and breathtaking beauty. What’s even more amazing is the size of this rose – it produces incredibly large blooms that perfectly complement its grandeur. By summer, our plants reach a stunning 7 feet tall, offering a bounty of beautiful stems to cut. And if you let the blooms stay on the plants, the sight is simply captivating! We feel grateful for this lovely addition to our garden!
Let me share a little story about our journey with Francis Meilland! Back in 2015, we stumbled upon a magnificent rose variety that made us truly excited — Francis Meilland. It had received accolades from the American Rose Society, and we were eager to bring it to our garden. Although some folks mentioned it wasn't “special” because it’s a hybrid tea, we confidently decided to plant around 25 of these beauties, and what a decision that was!
Francis Meilland is a true gem; it thrives in nearly all conditions, producing long stems perfect for cut arrangements, while its large, exquisite blush-to-white blooms fill the air with the most delightful fragrance. What we love most is that its bloom shape gives it an old-fashioned charm, setting it apart from typical hybrid teas.
As our farm expands and evolves, Francis Meilland has emerged as our most sought-after rose, and for good reason! If you have a little nook in your garden waiting for a standout blush rose, we wholeheartedly recommend adding Francis Meilland to your collection. You’ll be enchanted!
