Rose 'New Papa Meilland'
Mostly solitary, large, double, cupped, high-centred, deep velvety red to vermillion flowers. Strong, fruity citrus, damask fragrance. Vigorous, upright bush. Repeat bloom throughout the season.
Plant in an open, sunny position, in free-draining, neutral soil that is rich in organic matter. Water deeply to encourage strong roots when establishing and provide supplementary watering during dry periods. Roses are heavy feeders and will benefit from organic fertiliser, twice-yearly in heavy soils (spring and late summer) or four times in sandy soil. Deadhead regularly for repeat flowering. Prune in late-winter for size and shape, leaving new long canes to produce next season's flowers. Tie or fan canes into position.
