ANDRE LE NOTRE ® – pink hybrid tea rose – Meilland
If You dream of a romantic rose that simply fits into a family garden, ANDRE LE NOTRE ® offers large, exhibition-style blooms without demanding complicated routines. Its strong, fruity fragrance and XL, very double flowers bring classic hybrid tea elegance to front gardens, beds and mixed borders, while its upright habit makes it easy to place as a specimen or in small groups. In Ireland’s changeable weather it appreciates reasonably drained soil that copes well with regular rainfall, rewarding good siting and simple care with season-long colour. As an own-root rose it settles in steadily, building a stable, long-lived bush shape that regenerates from the base. The pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2-litre plant arrives well rooted and easy to handle – You plant it, keep it watered and it gradually adapts to its spot. Think in terms of a gentle development arc: strong roots in year one, fuller shoots in year two and then the rich ornamental effect You really notice from around year three.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden focal point by the entrance
The tall, upright hybrid tea form and very large, pastel-pink blooms create an immediate sense of welcome beside a gate, front door or path, giving a neat, classical structure that stays in proportion to most Irish family front gardens, ideal for the style-conscious homeowner
Romantic seating area or patio border
The strong, sweet-fruity scent and very double flowers make this an excellent choice near a bench, terrace or favourite chair, where You can enjoy individual stems at nose height and pick a few for the house without losing the overall effect, perfect for the fragrance-loving gardener
Small cut-flower patch in a family garden
Originally bred as an exhibition and cut-flower hybrid tea, it produces long, straight stems with solitary XL blooms that look impressive in vases, allowing You to grow reliable, high-quality cut roses at home, attractive for the practical-minded garden beginner
Specimen rose in a mixed cottage-style border
The clear pastel pink, gently fading to ivory-pink, blends effortlessly with perennials and cottage plants, standing out as a single specimen while linking bolder colours, well suited to relaxed, rural-style borders for the cottage-garden enthusiast
Small groups of 3–5 in ornamental beds
Planting in groups allows the uniform height and upright habit to form a coherent block of colour that reads clearly from the street, giving a professionally designed look with simple spacing and pruning, helpful for the busy but design-aware garden owner
Sunny rose bed in well-drained heavier soil
This variety is happiest in a bright, open position where the soil is improved for structure so it can cope with Ireland’s frequent wet spells, supporting healthy root growth despite heavier ground, reassuring for those gardening on typical clay-based plots
Roses in large containers on a sunny patio
In a 40–50 litre or larger container with good drainage, its upright habit and sizeable flowers create a vertical accent for balconies, terraces or small paved gardens, giving colour and scent without needing full borders, useful for compact-space urban gardeners
Long-term feature rose for established plantings
As an own-root plant it forms its permanent framework in situ, so after the first establishment years You gain a stable, regenerating shrub that can be rejuvenated from the base and kept for many seasons with consistent care, appealing to long-range planning gardeners
Decorating ideas
COTTAGE RIM – Plant a short row along a path and weave in lavender and rosemary to echo a soft cottage look – ideal for lovers of relaxed, scented country gardens
PASTEL CENTREPIECE – Use a single specimen framed by low hydrangeas or dwarf box to draw the eye to a seating area – suited to owners who like formal structure with soft colours
PINK CUTTING CORNER – Dedicate a sunny corner bed to 3–5 plants with space for picking, underplanted with airy grasses – perfect for busy families who enjoy bringing garden flowers indoors
ENTRANCE DUO – Place one rose on each side of the front path, backed by dark-leaved shrubs for contrast – good for homeowners wanting a simple but impressive welcome
ROMANTIC PATIO POT – Grow it in a 40–50 litre terracotta container with trailing thyme and lobelia at the base – great for urban gardeners working mainly with hard surfaces
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose from the Romantica collection; registered as MEIceppus, traded as Andre Le Notre ® Romantica® MEIceppus, with the ARS exhibition name Betty White™, hybrid tea commercial type.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Alain Meilland (Meilland International) in France from Pink Panther × Charleston ’88 × Yakimour; introduced and registered in 2001, with breeding completed around 2000, initially distributed by Meilland Richardier.
Awards and recognitions
Highly decorated exhibition hybrid tea with gold medals in Rome and Kortrijk (2000), multiple Monza awards including fragrance and people’s choice, Geneva fragrance award, and a certificate from Madrid, confirming show quality.
Growth and structure
Upright, medium-sized bush reaching about 100–140 cm in height with a 65–95 cm spread; moderately dense, glossy dark green foliage, moderately thorny canes, structured form suited to specimen use or grouped planting.
Flower morphology
Very double, cupped blooms with over 40 petals and a pronounced medium centre; XL solitary flowers on stems, repeating well through the season with a plentiful second flush; deadheading recommended as spent blooms do not self-clean.
Colour and phenology
Soft, warm pastel pink with subtle peach shading at the base; buds creamy peach-pink deepening to silky pastel at full bloom, then lightening to very pale, almost ivory pink as they age, with relatively weak colour retention in strong sun.
Fragrance and aroma
Strongly scented hybrid tea rose with a sweet, fruity fragrance character; bred and awarded specifically for scent, making it suitable for planting where the perfume can be appreciated at close quarters on patios and near seating.
Rose hip characteristics
Hip set is limited by the very double flower form; when they do appear, hips are small, red, spherical, about 10–14 mm across, and generally incidental rather than a primary ornamental feature in the garden.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to approximately -21 to -18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3); tolerant of summer heat with regular watering, but disease resistance is only moderate to powdery mildew and black spot, and very susceptible to rust.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with good air circulation and fertile, well-drained soil; regular feeding, watering and fungicidal protection are important, especially in humid, mild climates; spacing 50–90 cm depending on use for hedging, borders or specimen.
ANDRE LE NOTRE ® gives You large pastel-pink blooms, strong fragrance and an elegant upright habit on a long-lived own-root plant that settles reliably into Irish family gardens, a thoughtful choice if You prefer roses that reward consistent but simple care.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
