Rosa x floribunda 'Moulin Rouge' - Street Colours Floribunda Rose

The Street Colours 'Moulin Rouge' or 'Meitralight' Rose is a new-generation landscape rose from a series suited for small urban gardens and container plantings. It forms a bush of modest size, as wide as it is tall, covered in flowers from May until frost. Exceptionally resistant to diseases and pollution, its shiny green grass-like foliage enhances its semi-double, ruffled corolla flowers in dark red. Versatile and low-maintenance, it is also an ideal rose for beginner gardeners.

The 'Moulin Rouge' or 'Meitralight' Rose is a Meilland landscape rose part of a new range, 'Street Colours', designed for small urban spaces, with remarkable floribundity, disease-free plants, and minimal maintenance. It eventually forms a dense bush, as wide as it is tall, measuring 50 to 70 cm (20 to 28in) in all directions. From spring to autumn, bouquets of 2 to 10 flowers per stem bloom on shiny green foliage with approximately 15 petals and a width of 6 cm (2in). Their colour is a dark red, highlighted by some smoky reflections that give it depth. Their shape opens up to a heart of golden yellow stamens.

This Moulin Rouge 'Meitralight' rose thrives in all gardens, regardless of size, on balconies and patios. It adapts to all soils that are not too dry and to all climates. Easy to grow, all that remains is for you to admire it and find companions in a flower bed or plant it as a border or monochrome hedge. Some plants with silver foliage, such as Stachys or Artemisia, make a beautiful setting for its red flowers. Grasses add a touch of elegance and also take on silver reflections in autumn. Perennials with blue flowers, such as salvias and nepetas, complement its colour. In a large pot, it quickly becomes highly ornamental before joining bouquets in a vase.
