Description
The Alain Souchon Rose is a stunning red variety that captivates with its old-fashioned style roses, its satin carmine red hue, and its intense fragrance of May Rose with hints of red berries. With its large, romantic and slightly nostalgic flowers and elegant foliage, it adds incredible charm to any garden. Floriferous and robust, it offers a generous flowering from May until the first frosts. Its disease resistance and excellent cut flower life will delight lovers of classy roses.
The Alain Souchon® Rose is a creation by Meilland dating back to the year 2000. This large-flowering bush rose belongs to the ROMANTICA® range renowned for the retro-charm of its roses and pronounced fragrance. This exceptional variety has been widely awarded for its outstanding qualities. In 2000, it received the Fragrance Prize and Bronze Medal in Buenos Aires, the Fragrance Prize in Rœulx, the Silver Medal and Feminine Prize in Monza, as well as the Fragrance Prize and Silver Medal in Saverne. In 2002, it was honoured with the Fragrance Prize and Bronze Medal in Tokyo, as well as the Fragrance Prize in Orléans.
The Alain Souchon® Rose has a bushy, compact and well-balanced habit: the bush reaches a height of 90 cm to 1 m and a spread of around 50 cm. Its dense, dark green foliage highlights the light cardinal red hue of the flowers. Each one consists of around 100 petals and measures up to 13 cm in diameter. These quartered roses emit a powerful fragrance with notes of May Rose and red berries. The flowering is abundant and continuous from spring until the frosts. The foliage is deciduous, falling in autumn and regrowing in spring. The stems are thorny, as is typical for most roses.
The Alain Souchon® Rose 'Meikarouz' was named in honour of the famous French singer Alain Souchon, a great admirer of roses with retro charm. Captivated by the old-fashioned shape of the flowers and their powerful fragrance, the artist enthusiastically agreed to lend his name to this variety.
The Alain Souchon® Rose ‘Meikarouz’ will make a striking statement in gardens where elegance blends with romance. Its colour enhances flower beds from spring until the first frosts. It pairs beautifully with the delicate blooms of gaura, whose slender stems dance in the breeze, and the lavender spikes of Perovskia, which accentuate the richness of its petals. In a more theatrical setting, it can be combined with a soft pink climbing rose ‘Pierre de Ronsard’ and an ‘Iceberg’ rose, covered in white flowers that temper the red intensity. Whether planted as a standalone feature, in a flower bed, or even in a pot on a sunny patio, this rose exudes its full grandeur with light and warmth enhancing its hues and fragrance.
Planting and care
To plant your Alain Souchon 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 remove any air pockets. In dry weather, water regularly for a few weeks to encourage root establishment. Also remember to feed your rose with a special rose fertiliser to stimulate flowering. Choose a sunny spot - 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).
