Description

The Hello® Landscape Rose is a disease-resistant, compact variety with a spreading habit, featuring an abundance of red flowering, perfect for bringing structure to flower beds, bordering pathways, climbing slopes and rockeries, or simply enhancing a small garden. Gathered in richly coloured clusters, its double flowers offer a renewed spectacle from spring until the first frosts. Whether in the countryside or the city, it will not disappoint!

Created by Meilland International in 2002, the Hello® 'Meikinba' Rose is a landscape rose of incredible vigour, awarded two silver medals in The Hague (Netherlands) and Le Rœulx (Belgium). It belongs to the group of ground cover roses characterised by their spreading habit, rapid growth, and abundant flowering with minimal maintenance.
This rose develops a dense and spreading habit, forming a compact cushion of approximately 50 to 60 cm in height and nearly 1 m in spread. Under certain conditions, when it finds a natural support such as a bush or trellis, it can grow up to 1.50 to 2 m tall, adopting a semi-climbing habit. Its long, thorny branches that extend in all directions enhance its generous and natural appearance. From May-June until the first frosts, it is covered in successive waves of clusters of 3 to over 20 flowers. Its small pompon roses measure 5 to 6 cm in diameter, each with more than 50 dense, tightly packed petals arranged in a rosette. Their colour is a velvety, intense and stable ruby red under the sunlight. Fruiting in this variety remains rare, which naturally promotes the plant's floriferousness. The glossy, dark green foliage forms a perfect background for the flowers. Deciduous, it is absent in winter, but its high disease resistance enables it to remain beautiful and healthy throughout the season without requiring any special treatment.

Due to its vigour and rapid growth, this  Hello® 'Meikinba' rose is highly favoured by local authorities for its ornamental qualities and low maintenance requirements. Pruning is limited to a rejuvenation cut every 7 to 8 years, unless one wishes to limit its expansion by pruning it shorter each year. With its long, flexible , creeping branches, it can decorate flowerbeds, rockeries, slopes, retaining walls, or be trained as a climber against a trellis or bush. Its robustness and disease resistance make it ideal for a natural garden. In mass planting, pair it with 'Sea Foam' (white) ground cover roses and with 'Bees Paradise Pink' with their semi-double, fresh pink flowers.

Planting and care

To plant your Hello Meikinba rose, prepare the soil by digging a 30 cm cube, breaking up the earth well and adding a base fertiliser such as dried blood or dehydrated horn at the bottom of the planting hole. Place your plant after removing it from its pot, covering the top of the root ball with 3 cm of soil. Backfill and water thoroughly to eliminate any air pockets. In dry weather, water regularly for a few weeks to encourage root establishment. Also consider feeding your rose with a special rose fertiliser to stimulate flowering.

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 remedy this and read our article: Help: My Roses Have Spots
