A Papa Meilland Bud
Papa Meilland is a magnificent French hybrid tea rose. Named in honour of a Doyen in the rose breeding world by his Grandson, the now famous Allain Meilland, Papa Meilland has dark, velvety crimson coloured petals and a magnificent, strong, old rose fragrance. This rose was bred in France and introduced in 1963. I have two of these bushes in my front garden, and although white roses are my favourite type of rose, the Papa Meilland rose would come a very close second!
Melbourne had a very good start to summer with not too many burning hot days and lots of rain, which means that the autumn flowers now about are simply glorious. This includes a final show of autumnal blooms in my rose garden as the leaves start to change colour and fall from the bushes.
