Description

The André Le Nôtre® 'Meilinday' climbing rose - the climbing version of the famous bush - embodies the majesty and refinement of French-style gardens. With its abundant pastel and ochre roses, it offers prolific and fragrant blooms which continue until the first frosts. Remarkably vigorous, it produces long, flexible branches perfect for large structures like walls, pergolas, or arbours. Its dense, disease-resistant foliage enhances the brilliance of its flowers. 

The André Le Nôtre® 'Meilinday' rose belongs to the Rosaceae family and is part of the Large-Flowered Climbers group. In its climbing form, it reinterprets the timeless elegance of old roses while benefiting from exceptional vigour and improved disease resistance. Derived from the André Le Nôtre® 'Meiceppus' bush rose, it retains the fragrant flowering that made the variety famous, while developing a powerful sarmentous habit, ideal for dressing large vertical garden structures. Its large, opulent double roses, measuring 12 to 13 cm in diameter, evoke the charm of old roses with their form and silky texture. formed of 60 to 70 petals, they bloom into romantic corollas of luminous pastel pink, warmed at the heart by subtle ochre tones. Their intense, refined fragrance blends the floral hints of the May Rose with delicate fruity touches. Thanks to their excellent vase life, these sumptuous flowers are perfect for creating refined and romantic cut flower arrangements. Its flowering begins with a spectacular first wave followed by regular repeats throughout the season. A more pronounced resurgence occurs in early autumn, lasting until the first frosts, ensuring a prolonged floral presence in the garden. With vigorous and rapid growth, this climbing rose develops long thorny stems reaching 2.50 to 3 metres in height and about 3 metres in spread. Its medium-green, semi-matt, dense foliage provides the perfect setting for its flowers and persists late into the season. Its disease resistance makes it a top choice for gardeners seeking a robust and floriferous variety.

The André Le Nôtre rose requires space to flourish fully and is ideally suited to large walls, pergolas, fences, or arbours where it can elegantly display its long branches. To achieve optimal flowering, it is essential to train it methodically horizontally, which encourages the growth of numerous flowering stems. To enhance its romantic effect, it can be paired with a Pierre de Ronsard® rose whose large, soft pink flowers harmonise subtly with its pastel tones accentuated by ochre highlights. At its base, a 'Grosso' lavender and the slender spikes of a Stipa gigantea will harmoniously give structure to the space while adding movement. 

Dedicated to André Le Nôtre, the master of French-style gardens, this rose embodies the legacy of a visionary man who revolutionised landscaping art by playing with perspectives, water features, and groves in plant scenography

Planting and care

Plant your André Le Nôtre Rose in a sunny position. Roses are tolerant but dislike excessive lime and thrive best in fertile, well-drained soil. They will adapt to any garden as long as the ground is well-prepared and sufficiently rich. To plant your rose, work the soil by breaking it up finely and adding an amendment such as dried blood or dehydrated horn at the bottom of the planting hole. Water generously after planting to eliminate any air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to encourage root establishment.

In late winter, prune the oldest stems back to 3-5 buds above the ground (at the lowest point), choosing outward-facing buds for a more elegant habit. Use this pruning opportunity to remove any dead wood and unsightly branches. Prune at a slant above a bud. As flowering progresses, deadhead to stimulate the growth of new buds.

If planting a climbing or rambling rose near a living tree, the rose's root system will compete with the well-established tree roots. To control watering, here’s a tip: plant the rose in a large container with the bottom removed, placed at the base of the tree. The tree roots won’t penetrate the container for at least a year. Remove the container after one year, for example by cutting one side, without disturbing the rose's root system. The rose will have had time to develop a deep root system and will be more resilient.

Roses often develop spots or look unsightly by late summer, but this does not affect their growth. These spots are not harmful to the rose—it’s a natural phenomenon. Follow all our advice to address this issue and read our article: Help: My Roses Have Spots
