Rosa floribunda Origami - Floribunda Rose

The Origami® 'Meimozahiq' Cluster-flowered Rose is an original creation by Meilland evoking the precision and elegance of the Japanese art of paper folding. Its unique flowers with creamy-yellow petals finely edged with bright red resemble delicately crafted origami, offering a subtle interplay of contrasts and textures. Combined with abundant and continuous flowering from May until the first frosts, its bushy and compact habit makes it an ideal choice for refined borders, elegant edgings, and container cultivation. Easy to grow, it is highly disease-resistant and adds a graphically sophisticated touch to both classic gardens and Zen-inspired displays.

The 'Origami'® Meimozahiq Bush Rose belongs to the Rosaceae family. It is part of the floribunda rose lineage renowned for their abundant flowering in clusters and their well-balanced bushy habit. Introduced in 2010, this rose draws inspiration from the Japanese art of paper folding, evoking the elegance and meticulousness of traditional origami. Its compact and well-structured habit reaches 70 to 80 cm in height and 40 to 50 cm in width. Its deciduous dark green, dense, and glossy foliage highlights the delicacy of its flowers and enhances their graphic effect. This foliage falls in winter, making way for vigorous new growth in spring. What makes the Origami® unique is its star-shaped flowers with creamy-white petals finely edged with bright red. Each petal of 9 cm in diameter and 41 petals appears sculpted with artistic precision, creating an sense of depth and dimension. This subtle chromatic combination where light and dark interplay in contrasting tones recalls the delicate folds of traditional origami. From spring until the first frosts, this continuous flowering renews itself tirelessly, bringing a touch of serenity and refinement to the garden. Like most floribunda roses, it has thorny stems. Easy to grow, this rose is highly disease-resistant and adapts to a wide variety of soils.

With its compact habit and graphic flowers in refined hues, the Origami® 'Meimozahiq' rose will equally find its place in a structured border, Japanese-inspired garden, or elegant edging. Its subtle contrast between cream-white and bright red blends harmoniously with soft or complementary-toned flowers. Paired with a Peony ‘Coral Charm’ whose large semi-double flowers transition from coral to cream over time, it will creates a refined display with evolving shades. At its base, a Heuchera ‘Fire Chief’ with its luminous purple foliage, will accentuates its habit while adding a colourful depth that highlights its bicoloured petals. For a more airy combination, Japanese Anemones ‘Honorine Jobert’ with their delicate white corollas will bring a lightness that contrasts with the geometric rigour of its roses.
