Francis Meilland®

Francis Meilland® is an award-winning rose known for being an extremely disease-resistant Hybrid Tea. Named after a remarkable rose breeder, this rose has large, high-centered blooms of soft, shell pink that give off an old rose fragrance. The buds are substantially conical-shaped opening into very large, full, 5” blooms of 37 petals. This repeat blooming rose is perfectly framed against its glossy, dark green foliage. Flowers also drop off cleanly, making it great as a cut rose.
