'Meiroupis'
Very beautiful small climbing plant, fragrant and repeat flowering, especially in late season. Planted this spring 2025, it has already reached 1m80 in one season and has delighted me with its flowering.

Description
The 'Colette' Rose or 'Meiroupis' is a modern creation with a romantic style that can be used as a large bush or a small climber. This rose has many advantages, combining robustness, hardiness, excellent disease resistance, flowers shaped in an old-fashioned way but resistant to rain, a fabulous salmon pink colour and a beautiful scent of Damask rose. It also offers well-filled foliage with a glossy dark green colour that perfectly enhances the flowering from early summer to the first frost.
The Colette Rose, sometimes marketed under the name 'John Keats', is a creation by Meilland dating back to 1994. The hybrid tea rose with clustered flowers won the Bronze Medal in Adelaide (Australia) in 2000. When trained and regularly pruned, it is a small sarmentous climber that will not exceed 2.50 m (8ft) in height. If not trained, it forms a beautiful 1.50 m (5ft) tall bush with a flexible and free habit. Its flexible and thorny branches are adorned with abundant foliage, with dark green, glossy, blackspot-resistant leaflets that are truly decorative. Its flowering is particularly abundant in June, and it generously blooms again in late summer. There is often a pause at the height of summer, in August. This rose produces bouquets of 3 to 5 roses with an 8 cm (3in) diameter, very double (120 to 130 petals), organised in quarters. They open in a cup shape and end up flat. The blossoming of the flowers is not affected by bad weather. Like old roses, these flowers exude a powerful scent. Their soft and warm colour ranges through all shades between coral pink, light pink, and apricot, sometimes with a touch of yellow in the centre.
The Colette Rose is also a hardy and undemanding plant, thriving in well-prepared ordinary soil. It will appeal to lovers of romantic and scented roses. It can also form a large bush without directing its growth, creating a romantic mass of flowers and foliage ideal for forming the backdrop of a perennial bed. It can also be paired with flowering shrubs (Shrubby Cinquefoils, Abelias, and Buddleias, ground cover roses…). It could also be imagined in a rose hedge, with large white or pink shrubs (Iceberg, Maiden's Blush) or purple (Charles de Mills, Young Lycidas...)

Planting and care
For planting your 'Colette' Rose, choose a location that receives ample sunlight. Roses are quite tolerant but they don't like excessive limestone. They prefer fertile and well-drained soil. However, they can adjust to any garden if the soil is well-worked and rich. To plant the rose, crumble the soil well and add an amendment such as blood, fish, and bone at the bottom of the planting hole. Water the rose generously after planting to remove air pockets. Water it regularly for a few weeks to help with rooting. At the end of winter, trim the oldest branches to 3-5 buds above the ground (at the lowest). Choose an outward-facing bud for a more elegant appearance. Use this opportunity to also remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Prune at an angle above a bud. When the flowers bloom, remove faded flowers to promote the development of other buds.
If you plant a climbing or rambling rose next to a living tree, its root system will compete with the tree's existing root system. To control watering, plant the rose in a large container with drainage holes at the base of the tree. The tree's roots will not penetrate the container for at least a year. After a year, remove the container by cutting one side without disturbing the rose's root system. The rose will have had enough time to develop its root system deeply and will be more resistant.
Roses may have some stains or look unsightly at the end of summer. However, this is not a problem for their growth. These stains are natural and do not harm the rose.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
