Francis Meilland® Bare Root Rose Bush
Rosa 'MEItroni' PP 19,970 Francis Meilland®
Francis Meilland® is truly a showstopper and a beloved favorite! Its magnificent blooms, measuring an impressive 5 to 6 inches across, unfurl in delicate shades of soft blush, capturing the essence of romance. The nearly thornless stems are elegantly sturdy and adorned with glossy, dark green foliage, providing a stunning backdrop to the exquisite blooms.
Renowned among floral designers, these roses are a treasured choice for creating breathtaking bouquets. Their large, luxurious petals serve as the perfect focal point. Their remarkable hardiness ensures they look stunning and last for up to a week in arrangements.
One of Francis Meilland®'s most enchanting features is its intoxicating, rich tea rose scent, which fills the air and transforms any space into a fragrant oasis. Each bouquet brings a delightful aroma that lingers, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. We eagerly anticipate the blooming of Francis Meilland® roses, as they never fail to enchant with their beauty and fragrance!
