PRINCESSE DE MONACO® GPT – cream-white-pink climbing rose – Meilland

If You dream of a graceful climbing rose that simply settles in and gets on with flowering, PRINCESSE DE MONACO® GPT offers an easy, elegant solution for Irish family gardens. Its large, cup-shaped blooms open in creamy white with a ruby-pink edge, giving a romantic, cottage look on walls, fences or arches without demanding complicated care. As an own-root, 2‑litre plant, it adapts steadily to Your soil and routine, building long-term stability and good regeneration so You can enjoy it for many years. It responds especially well where heavy ground has been given basic drainage and the roots are not left sitting in winter wet. The dense, dark, glossy foliage clothes supports from top to bottom, creating a screening effect for front gardens and seating areas. With moderate maintenance needs and reliable repeat flowering through the season, this climber is both forgiving for beginners and satisfying for experienced gardeners who value a premium look. Over its first three years it focuses on roots, then framework shoots, then full ornamental impact, so You can watch it mature naturally into Your design. Whether training it over an arbour or framing a sunny doorway, its softly edged blooms bring a sense of luxury and special-occasion charm to everyday spaces, while its manageable vigour keeps it practical for typical Irish front and back gardens.

Use cases

Target areaReason
Front-garden wall or house façade Ideal for training against a sunny wall where You want a welcoming, high-impact display close to the house. The large, cream-white-pink flowers read clearly from a distance and give a polished look for visitors and passers-by, suiting style-conscious homeowners
Pergola or arbour over a seating area The long, climbing canes and dense foliage form a romantic overhead frame for benches or small patios. Repeating flushes of bloom add colour through summer without overwhelming scent, making it pleasant near doors and windows, especially for fragrance-sensitive families
Garden arch marking a path or entrance Its manageable height and structured growth habit make it well suited to covering a standard arch, creating a clear vertical accent and gentle sense of arrival. The two-tone petals photograph beautifully, a bonus for garden-proud beginners
Fence line between neighbouring gardens Dense, glossy foliage and moderate prickliness help define boundaries while keeping the look soft and elegant rather than harsh. With basic seasonal pruning and tying-in, it forms a long-lasting, living screen that appeals to privacy-seeking neighbours
Mixed border with perennials The refined flower form pairs well with blue and purple companions like woodland sage, panicled phlox or blue globe thistle. As the own-root plant matures over its first three years, it develops a balanced framework that suits patient, design-minded gardeners
Coastal or windy suburban garden When given a solid support and decent soil preparation, this climber copes reliably with exposed, breezy spots typical of many Irish estates, as long as roots are kept out of standing winter wet, reassuring time-poor owners
Large container on balcony or terrace Can be grown in a generous 40–50 litre container with a trellis, provided You water and feed regularly. This allows renters or balcony gardeners to enjoy a classic climbing rose look in limited space, ideal for compact-plot residents
Feature pillar or obelisk in lawn Trained up a sturdy pillar, it becomes a vertical focal point with repeated flushes of showy blooms. The moderate maintenance needs and clean, formal flower shape suit those wanting a standout element without complex rose collections, such as busy couples

Decorating ideas

  • Cottage Archway – Train PRINCESSE DE MONACO® GPT over a metal arch, underplanting with foxgloves and hardy geraniums for a soft, cottage feel – perfect for romantic-style front-garden owners
  • Elegant Facade – Fan the canes along wires beside a doorway, combining with lavender and rosemary at the base for year-round structure – ideal for neat, low-maintenance entrance areas
  • Pastel Pergola – Cover a small pergola with this rose and mix in pale hydrangeas and white clematis nearby for a calm, pastel retreat – suited to families wanting a gentle seating corner
  • Coastal Screen – Use it on a sturdy fence with ornamental grasses and sea-holly to soften Atlantic winds while staying visually light – good for exposed suburban or seaside plots
  • Balcony Statement – Plant in a 40–50 litre container with a slim obelisk, adding trailing thyme and violas for colour at the base – great for compact urban spaces and renters

Technical cultivar profile
PropertyData
Name and registration Climbing rose, large-flowered climber group. Registered cultivar name MEIbergamu, trade name PRINCESSE DE MONACO® GPT, part of the MEILLAND® 'Classics' collection; ARS exhibition name Princesse de Monaco, Cl.
Origin and breeding Natural sport of the hybrid tea 'Princesse de Monaco'. Bred by Meilland International, breeding year 1985 (Australia). Introduced by Meilland Richardier in France in 2014; registration year not documented.
Growth and structure Vigorous climbing habit with dense, dark green glossy foliage and moderate prickles. Typical height 210–310 cm, spread 120–190 cm when trained on supports such as walls, fences, pergolas or arches.
Flower morphology Very large, double, cup-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals, usually borne singly on the stem. Remontant, with a strong second flush that repeats well in favourable seasons, giving extended ornamental effect.
Colour and phenology Cream-white base petals edged all round with pink to carmine. Buds ivory with pink tinge, opening to clear cream-white with ruby-pink margin, later softening towards pale peach-pink in strong sun; colour retention moderate.
Fragrance and aroma Fragrance is very weak and barely noticeable, with a fresh, light character rather than a strong perfume. Well suited to entrances, seating areas and windows where subtle scent is preferred.
Rose hip characteristics Rose hips form only slightly due to the full double flower. When present, they are ellipsoidal, 10–14 mm in diameter, in an orange-red shade that can offer modest late-season interest.
Resistance and hardiness Hardy to approximately -34 to -32 °C (USDA zone 4a, RHS H7, Swedish zone 5). Disease resistance moderate to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; performs best with regular care and good air circulation.
Horticultural recommendations Best in sunny, well-prepared soil with reliable drainage. Space 140–250 cm depending on use; for mass planting about 0.4–0.5 plants/m². Suitable for walls, fences, pergolas, arbours and pillars; maintenance medium with occasional plant protection.

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.
