MICHELANGELO® – yellow hybrid tea rose – Meilland
If You dream of a romantic yellow rose with impressive, classic blooms but prefer simple care, MICHELANGELO® is a reliable choice for average Irish gardens. Its generous, very double flowers bring a luxury feel to front beds, paths and small groups, while the strong lemony-honey scent adds an unmistakable fragrance around doors and seating areas. As an own-root plant it builds long-lived stability, regenerating well and forming a dense, upright bush over time. The pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2‑litre plant arrives well rooted, so You can “plant it and let it grow” with confidence, even in areas of frequent rain and humidity where fungal pressure is higher. In the first year it quietly builds roots, in the second year it develops strong shoots, and by the third year it shows its full ornamental value with large golden blooms ready to cut for the vase.

Property
Data

Origin and breeding
Bred by Alain Meilland (Meilland International SA) in France from (‘Meidragelac’ × ‘Meikinosi’) × ‘Korbelma’; registered 1997 and introduced 1998 by Meilland International SA.
Awards and recognitions
Decorated show rose: Monza Gold Medal 1997, Bagatelle (Paris) Certificate 1997, Orléans Rose de Cristal 2000, The Hague Fragrance Award and Certificate 2001 for bloom and scent quality.
Growth and structure
Upright, hybrid tea habit reaching about 110–150 cm high with a 75–105 cm spread; dense, dark green, slightly glossy foliage and moderate prickliness lend good structure for beds and specimen planting.
Flower morphology
Very double, cupped flowers with a distinct medium-high centre, over 40 petals per bloom; XL solitary flowers on long stems, remontant with a generous second flush ideal for cutting and exhibition-style display.
Colour and phenology
Uniform bright lemon-yellow with a soft golden tone; buds deep yellow, opening to warm golden centres and paler rims, gradually lightening to buttery, creamy shades in strong sun while maintaining an attractive overall appearance.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong, well-defined scent with a rich lemony-honey character; designed primarily as an ornamental and cut rose rather than for pollinators, with highly double flowers that largely conceal the stamens.
Rose hip characteristics
Small bottle-shaped hips, 10–14 mm in diameter, greyish-orange (RHS 168B), forming only occasionally, so the plant focuses more energy on flowering than on fruiting in typical garden conditions.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish Zone 3); resistant to powdery mildew and rust, moderate against black spot, best in sunny, well-ventilated positions with regular watering during prolonged drought.
Horticultural recommendations
Suited to beds, specimen planting, hedging and containers; prefers full sun and good air flow, with closer spacing for hedges and wider for solitary plants; in very enclosed, humid courtyards occasional plant protection may be required.
MICHELANGELO® offers large fragrant blooms, strong garden presence and dependable repeat flowering on a long-lived own-root plant, making it a practical, rewarding choice if You would like a classic yellow rose to enjoy for many years.

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.
