Description

The Marylou® 'Meilitchy' Rose awakens the garden with the timeless charm of its large red roses. Compact and robust, this bush is perfect for small spaces, rose beds, mixed borders, and patio decoration. Its flowering is particularly abundant in early summer and autumn. A light fragrance with floral and fruity notes surrounds the opulent and beautifully formed roses. A variety that will delight both bloom  and cut flower lovers.

The Marylou® Rose is a beautiful creation by Meilland. Introduced in 2009, this large-flowering bush rose belongs to the hybrid tea group. These varieties are prized for their large, perfectly formed, turbinate flowers and their perpetual flowering.

This rose has a compact, bushy habit, quickly reaching a height of 60 to 90 cm with a spread of about 60 cm. Its sturdy stems bear large, solitary flowers of classic form at their tips. The intensely vermilion red roses measure up to 14 cm in diameter. Comprising around 73 petals, they are majestic. Flowering is abundant in June, then it renews more sporadically in summer. The autumn surge is noteworthy. The dense, glossy green foliage is deciduous: it falls in autumn and regrows the following spring. This very hardy small bush will perform at its best when planted in rich, deep soil that remains slightly moist in summer.

The Marylou® 'Meilitchy' Rose is a sturdy plant suitable for beds, borders, and containers, where its abundant blooming will prolong the joy of fine days. It is also an excellent variety for creating florist professional-looking cut flower arrangements. To highlight its powerful colour and large flowers, pair it with perennials with cool tones like the 'Caradonna' sage or the 'Rozanne' hardy geranium, for example. It will look stunning with a 'Crystal Fairy' groundcover rose with its flexible habit and small white flowers.

Planting and care

To plant your Marylou rose, prepare the soil by working it to a depth of 30 cm, breaking up any clumps. At the bottom of the planting hole, add a base fertiliser such as dried blood or dehydrated horn. Place your plant after removing it from its pot, covering the top of the root ball with 3 cm of soil. Fill in the hole and water thoroughly to eliminate any air pockets. During dry weather, water regularly for a few weeks to encourage root establishment. Also consider feeding your rose with a special rose fertiliser to promote flowering. Choose a sunny spot, or partial shade in very hot regions.
