CAPRICE DE MEILLAND ® – deep pink hybrid tea rose – Meilland
If You love fragrance-filled roses but want planting to stay simple, CAPRICE DE MEILLAND® is an easy-care hybrid tea that fits beautifully into average Irish family gardens. Its very strong, garden-filling scent and large, elegant blooms give You that classic cut-rose look without complicated routines, while the own-root 2-litre plant gradually forms a stable, long-lived bush that copes well even where humidity increases the risk of fungal problems. In the first year it concentrates on roots, in year two it builds strong shoots, and by year three You can enjoy its full ornamental value. Medium disease resistance and a bushy, upright habit suit smaller borders and front gardens, and with a minimum 40–50 litre pot it works reliably on patios too, so You can simply plant it, enjoy the flowers and keep rose care pleasantly manageable.

Product Identification Data
Product Name:
CAPRICE DE MEILLAND ® – deep pink hybrid tea rose - Meilland
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Competition and Show Awards:
Bagatelle (Paris) – Coupe du Parfum (1997); Nantes – Prix du Parfum (1997); Le Roeulx – Prix du Parfum (1997); Le Roeulx – Certificate (1997); Rome – Gold Medal (1997); Rome – Prix du Parfum (1997); Hamilton (New Zealand) – Rose of the Year (200
Flower Colour:
Uniform, vivid deep-pink shade with a warm-toned appearance.
Closed Bud:
The surface is dark, almost reddish-pink, with a deeper tone at the tip.
Freshly Opened Flower:
Pure pink petals with a high centre and a slightly lighter rim on the outer petals.
Full Bloom:
The surface is harmonious, opening in a cup shape and uniformly deep pink with a glossy sheen.
Pre-Fading Flower:
The centre of the petals fades slightly but remains essentially pink, with a paler edge.
Colour Fading Description:
During opening the deep pink hue only moderately fades; the edges become slightly lighter and it remains pink until the end of flowering.
Pollinator Attraction:
Double (26–39 petals) flowers attract pollinators only to a limited extent because the double flower form reduces access to the stamens, whereas simple or semi‑double forms with exposed stamens are generally more attractive to pollinating insects.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Double, 26–39-petalled flowers partially cover the stamens, so its pollinator-friendliness is limited — primarily an ornamental cultivar.

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.
