Description
The 'Millie Fleur' rose bush is a vigorous, charming, and fragrant bush that combines the robustness and fragrance of the multiflora rose with the highly recurrent flowering of moschata hybrids. Its small semi-double roses, in a lilac pink color, offer their stamen hearts to bees. They form bouquets on gracefully trailing branches and produce small sought-after hips for birds in autumn. It is a naturally disease-resistant variety and very versatile in the garden: it can be used naturally in a hedge or large bed, as a climber, or as a ground cover by severely pruning the plant each year to 30 cm (12in) above the ground.
The Millie Fleur® 'VEL11btare' rose is a 2021 creation by Lens Roses with an impressive track record*. It is derived, among others, from the musk rose (Rosa (x) moschata), a spontaneous hybrid probably originating from Asia Minor or the Middle East. A bit like polyanthas and floribundas, roses in this family produce flowers grouped in bouquets, but their colors are more refined, and they have a more flexible and graceful habit. 'Millie Fleur' also possesses genes from the multiflora rose, which has passed on its floral fragrance. The bush shows rapid growth and a natural, slightly weeping habit, supported by flexible and trailing branches. Ultimately, if not pruned, it can reach up to 1.80 m (6ft) in height with a spread of 2 m (7ft). Its thorny stems bear leaves divided into shiny, disease-free, finely cut leaflets. Flowering begins in June and continues until October if the soil does not dry out too much and the faded flowers are regularly deadheaded. The flowers form bouquets of up to 34 small flowers with a diameter of 4 cm (2in). Their color is a fairly dark pink tinged with mauve. The center of the corollas, occupied by golden stamens, is readily available to bees and other pollinators. If the faded flowers are not deadheaded from August onwards, this rose produces decorative small fruits at the end of the season. Its hardiness is estimated at around -15 °C (5°F).
This 'Millie Fleur' shrub rose thrives in well-prepared soil and requires minimal pruning, except for removing the oldest branches or dead wood in late winter. Plant it in a flowering hedge or in a shrub bed with other hedge roses or sturdy flowering shrubs such as Abelias, mock oranges, Japanese quinces, lilacs, etc. Its vigour allows it to be used as a small climber by training its stems on a trellis or arch. This variety is astonishing when used as a ground cover with a herbaceous clematis or a 'Fragrant Cloud' honeysuckle, for example.

Planting and care
The 'Millie Fleur' Rosebush can be planted in full sun, but it also tolerates partial shade, especially in our sunniest and hottest regions. It will adapt to any garden if the soil is well-prepared and sufficiently rich. To install your rosebush, work the soil by crumbling it and place an amendment, such as blood, fish and bone, at the bottom of the planting hole. Water generously after planting to remove any pockets of air. Water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate rooting. Pruning is limited to removing dead wood, and you can also prune the interlacing branches to lighten the centre of the bush. As the flowers bloom, remove the faded flowers, as this stimulates the opening of other buds.
Rosebushes may develop stains or discolouration at the end of summer, but this is a natural occurrence that does not harm the plant'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.
