Description
The 'Eddy Mitchell' Rose is undoubtedly the most Rock'n Roll of all the roses from Meilland. Like the artist's lively melodies, its large flower with a completely unprecedented colouring is rhythmic. Bicoloured, the large turbinated roses of this modern tea hybrid display velvety petals of an almost black purple on the front, forming a superb contrast with a yellow reverse. Sometimes difficult to combine in flower beds, this unique, continuously flowering rose will seduce collectors. It deserves its own place in the garden, and its flowers are sensational in bouquets.
'Eddy Mitchell' or 'Meirysett' is a modern bush rose with large flowers obtained by Meilland in 2010. This variety comes, among others, from the excellent Madame A. Meilland. It is a bushy shrub with vigorous and strong vegetation, presenting an upright and bushy habit, and quickly reaches about 70 cm (28in) in height and 50 cm (20in) in width at maturity. It produces strong and thorny branches that bear foliage of a very dark green, resistant to diseases. If faded flowers are removed from May to October, the plant continuously produces large flowers with a diameter of 10-12 cm (4-5in), whose cone shape is typical of tea hybrid roses. They are composed of about 27 petals with a fringed edge. Their surprising colouring is not aggressive: a velvety greyish purple with black reflections, they are doubled with cream yellow suffused with pink and apricot when fully open. The flowers are solitary, borne at the end of long shoots from the current year or emerging on 2-year-old stems. A light fragrance accompanies the continuous flowering.
The 'Eddy Mitchell' rose has an assertive personality and is best planted either alone, in groups of three, or in a monochrome border. To add an airy touch to this bush, delicate and wild flowers like chamomiles, white nigellas, or Cuphea hyssopifolia can be used, as well as certain grasses like crested barley or Sipa pennata. Purple-leaved heucheras, lavender, and catmints also make for a beautiful setting for its roses.

Planting and care
To plant your 'Eddy Mitchell' rose, choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well-worked soil that is not too heavy and has enough nutrients. Avoid planting in poor and excessively dry soils. Prepare the soil by crumbling it and adding an amendment, such as blood, fish and bone, at the bottom of the planting hole. After planting, water abundantly to remove air pockets and continue to water regularly for a few weeks to help the roots establish.
Pruning modern repeat flowering roses is important for flowering and should be done in three stages:
1. Regular maintenance pruning: During the season, regularly shorten the flowering branches and remove faded flowers along with their stem, leaving 2 or 3 leaves to encourage repeat flowering.
2. Preparatory autumn pruning: Lightly prune in preparation for the 'main' spring pruning. Note: This is not recommended in regions with cold winters as this could weaken the bush.
3. Spring pruning: In February-March, when the buds have become shoots 2 to 3 cm (1in) long, prune the young, strong branches to one-quarter of their length.
When pruning, always aim to remove dead wood, diseased branches, and weak shoots while opening up the centre of the bush. Retain the most vigorous branches, generally 3 to 6 well-positioned, to maintain an attractive habit. Always prune at a slant ½ cm or 1 cm (0in) above an outward-facing bud.
Roses may develop unsightly spots at the end of summer, but this is a natural occurrence and doesn't harm the rose's growth.

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.
