Meilland Climbing Rose 'Palais Royal' (14cm pot)

A rose bush is essential in any garden, terrace or balcony. They are extraordinary shrubs, always elegant and very versatile as they fit various styles, adapt well to different soil types and, apart from a few hours of direct sun per day, need little else to beautify gardens, beds and planters. Rose bushes are part of the essence of the typical Portuguese garden. Meilland roses constitute the largest collection of hybrid rose varieties created by Meilland – in France – which has been producing and selling them for over 100 years. They grow relatively quickly, offer abundant and colorful flowering, generally from early spring until late autumn. Check specific information about this variety below.

CUIDADOS
Light: Full sun (without about 6 hours of direct sun/day, it won’t flower or develop well).
Temperature: Rose bushes are well adapted to our temperate climate. They appreciate temperatures between 15ºC to 28ºC but tolerate lower temperatures well (down to -20°C).
Watering: Moderate – after planting, in the first summer and during flowering periods. Reduce watering in winter – being outdoors, let the rain take care of watering (water only if a prolonged dry period occurs).
Fertilization: Use fertilizer suitable for roses, in spring-summer, following the instructions on the product label.
Pruning: Like most roses, this variety also tolerates pruning well. You should remove dry/damaged branches and wilted flowers, promoting flowering and maintaining the desired shape. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring.
Soil: They adapt well to various types of soils/substrates, as long as they are 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 are not considered toxic plants for 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 the appearance of fungi on leaves and flowers.
