A rose bush is a must-have in any garden, terrace, or balcony. These are extraordinary shrub plants—always elegant and highly versatile—fitting many styles, adapting well to different soil types, and needing little more than a few hours of direct sun a day to brighten up gardens, beds, and planters. Rose bushes are part of the essence of the classic Portuguese garden. Meilland roses are the largest collection of hybrid rose varieties created by the Meilland house in France, which has been producing and selling them for over 100 years. They grow relatively quickly and offer abundant, colourful blooms, usually from early spring to late autumn. Check the specific information about this variety below.

The Cyclamen Pierre de Ronsard – Margaret Mae rose is an exceptional, enchanting creation from the Pierre de Ronsard family, a member of the Meilland Richardier House. This climbing rose is sure to win you over with its impressive habit, generous flowering, soft fragrance, and lush foliage. This variety belongs to the “Romantica” series, with blooms whose shape perfectly blends the grace and delicate beauty of old roses with the high resistance of modern roses.

It’s so much more than charm! Other special features include high disease resistance and long-lasting cut flowers (around 5–7 days, well above the usual average).

Features of the ‘Cyclamen Pierre de Ronsard – Margaret Mae’ Rose:
Flower colour: Deep pink, combined with a warm greyish pink/silvery highlights (pink tone gradient).
Fragrance: Light scent.

CUIDADOS
Light: Full sun (without around 6 hours of direct sun/day, it won’t flower or develop well).
Temperature: Rose bushes are well adapted to our temperate climate. They like temperatures between 15°C and 28°C, but also tolerate lower temperatures well (down to -20°C).
Watering: Moderate—after planting, in the first summer, and during flowering periods. Reduce watering in winter—outdoors, let the rain do the job (only water if there’s a prolonged dry spell).
Fertilising: Use a rose-specific fertiliser in spring–summer, following the instructions on the product label.
Pruning: Like most rose bushes, this variety also tolerates pruning well. Remove dry/damaged branches and spent blooms to encourage flowering and keep the desired shape. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring.
Soil: They adapt well to various soil/substrate types, as long as they’re light and rich in organic matter (they love humus). The soil should be well-drained, as they don’t tolerate waterlogging.
Pet Friendly: Most rose bushes themselves aren’t considered toxic to pets. However, if ingested, the thorns can cause serious injuries.

Tip: Rose bushes don’t like excessive wind exposure, but the chosen spot should be airy to prevent fungi from appearing on leaves and flowers.
