Description
The Elegance Française® Rose ('Meithatie') combines the scent of Damask roses with the perfect beauty of hybrid tea roses and the generosity of modern roses. Awarded for its numerous qualities, this variety produces large turbinate roses of a brilliant magenta and velvety pink for months, which capture a magnificent fragrance within their petals. Naturally resistant to diseases, it requires little maintenance. Whether along a path or near the terrace, in a large pot on the balcony, or even in a vase, you will enjoy their charm for a long time. The elegance and beauty of French luxury!
The Elegance Française® Rose, recently created by the Meilland house, can boast the following awards: Silver Medal Nagaoka 2017. 1st Prize Grouped Flowers SNHF 2020, 1st Prize in all regions and Perfume Award AGRS (American Garden Rose Selections) 2020, John Cecil Honor Award, Biltmore (USA) 2020. It is a classic hybrid tea rose. The plant forms an upright, ramified bush with vigorous and rapid growth. It will reach approximately 70cm (28in) in height, with a spread of 55cm (22in). From May-June until late in the season, on foliage composed of large dark green matte leaflets, turbinated roses measuring 8-10cm (3-4in) in diameter bloom. They consist of 25 velvety-textured petals with rolled edges, arranged very regularly. Their colour is a very vibrant magenta pink and their pronounced fragrance recalls that of Damask roses, with fruity and sweet notes. These roses are solitary or grouped in 2 or 3. The disease resistance of this rose is excellent. This deciduous, very hardy shrub loses its leaves in autumn. It will thrive when planted in a rich, deep soil that remains slightly moist in summer.
This modern Elegance Française Rose, with its extraordinary fragrance and long stems, is wonderful in a vase. It will find its place in the garden in a large rose bed, at the front of a shrub bed, or as a standalone specimen in a well-kept small garden. It also performs very well in a pot. The colour of its flowers easily complements pastel blooms, as well as the range of blues, purples, and violets. Consider planting it near easy-to-grow plants such as Chinese peonies, perennial geraniums (Geranium 'Blue Cloud', 'Anne Folkard', 'Nimbus', 'Orion'), bellflowers (lactiflora, rapunculoides), catmints, perennial salvias, foxgloves... Dwarf buddleias also make lovely companions for bush roses. Its flowers can be used to create elegant bouquets that delicately perfume the house.

Planting and care
To plant your Élégance Française rose, prepare your soil to a depth of 25cm (10in) by crumbling the soil and adding a bottom amendment such as dried blood or dehydrated horn. Position your plant, removing it from its pot, and cover the top of the root ball with 3cm (1in) of soil. Fill in the hole and water generously to eliminate any air pockets. During dry weather, it is important to regularly water for a few weeks to promote root growth. Also, remember to feed your rose with special rose fertilizer that stimulates plant flowering. Choose a sunny location or partial shade in very hot regions.

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.
