Rosa Belle Romantica 'Meigapencey'
Modern Hybrid Tea Rose
The rose bush arrived well wrapped, with fresh root ball and correct root development. However, the branches appear dried out, wilted, and even burnt in some places (frost?). Planted upon arrival (outside of frost period), after rehydration, I am waiting for spring to assess its recovery.

Description
The Belle Romantica Rose is a hybrid that will charm lovers of old roses while possessing the qualities of modern roses. It seduces with its plump flowers that open in quarters, in a soft and warm ocher pink colour. This creation from Meilland also shows a very good resistance to diseases and a strong reblooming character. The sturdy and generous bush has won several competitions. Plenty of reasons to adopt it in a romantic flower bed or a small garden. Create beautiful bouquets with its pastel flowers that exhale a sweet fragrance of May Rose!
Belle Romantica® ('Meigapencey') is a modern bush rose with large flowers launched by Meilland in 2014. This beautiful variety won the Perfume Award in Orleans in 2014 as well as the Best Grand Flowers Rose Award and the Perfume Award in La Tacita in 2014. It is a small bushy and upright shrub that reaches about 80-90cm (32-35in) in height with a spread of 50-60cm (20-24in) at maturity. It has rapid growth. It produces strong, thorny and well-branched branches that bear elegant foliage, of a semi-matte green colour, with low susceptibility to diseases. From June to October, if faded flowers are removed, the plant produces very beautiful 11cm (4in) diameter flowers, semi-globular in shape, reminiscent of old-fashioned roses. They are composed of 65 petals and open to reveal a quartered heart. Their colour, pinkish on the periphery, is warmed by pale ochre in the centre. They are grouped in small bouquets of 2 to 5 units at the end of long shoots from the current year or emerging from 2-year-old stems. Their fragrance is of a fairly light intensity, more or less noticeable depending on the time of day and the climatic conditions.
Belle Romantica®, romantic and feminine, is a perfect rose for nostalgic flower beds and bouquets, or planted among low perennials such as violets, perennial geraniums, dwarf asters or aubrietas for example: they will hide its slightly bare base after a few years. With its modest size and dense habit, it is suitable for container gardening and is ideal for planting in groups of 3. It fits well in flower beds of low shrubs with summer or autumn flowering, or mixed with light annuals such as love-in-a-mist for example. In an Italian or French-style garden, it will be highlighted in front of a boxwood or yew screen or surrounded by a miniature hedge.

Planting and care
Plant your Belle Romantica rose bush in a sunny or lightly shaded location. Modern roses are tolerant, but do not appreciate excess limestone. They will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well worked, not too heavy, and sufficiently rich. To plant your rose bush, work the soil by crumbling it and add an amendment, such as dried blood or dehydrated horn, to the bottom of the planting hole. Water generously after planting to remove air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate rooting.
Pruning modern perpetual roses is essential for flowering. It is done in three steps:
1. Maintenance pruning: regularly shorten the branches that have bloomed during the season. To promote the reblooming of perpetual roses, remove faded flowers along with their stems and 2 or 3 leaves.
2. Preparatory autumn pruning: light pruning that anticipates the proper spring pruning. It is not recommended in regions with cold winters to avoid weakening the bush.
3. Spring pruning: in February-March, when the buds have become shoots 2 to 3 m (1in) long, prune the young strong branches to a quarter of their length.
Pruning always aims to clear the core of the bush and remove dead wood, diseased branches, and weak shoots. The most vigorous branches, usually 3 to 6 well-positioned branches, should be retained to maintain a beautiful habit. Always prune at an angle ½cm or 1cm above a bud facing outward.
Roses are often stained or unsightly at the end of summer, but this is not a problem for their development. These stains are not harmful to the rose bush, it is a natural phenomenon.

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.
