Meilland Roses

Do you know anything about the Meilland Rose named,

La Sevillana.

I have tried to locate a 2007 Meilland Rose catalogue,

with no success.

nemo, could I suggest that you type in google or like the Meilland name with its (www) thing and from memory you will need to ask for english translation. Hope this helps, regards, David.

Yes, I grow mostly Meilland roses, for me they've proved the most reliable. Over the years I've had a couple of La Sevillanas - a lovely red floribunda with a touch of white in each bloom; abundantly recurrent; growing to a metre or slightly more; not really suitable to tropic or subtropic gardens. A good rose say from Sydney's climate to cooler, up to about zone 9. Plant is available from all or most rose nurseries and even Big W some years (March to July).

Carol's comment about not pruning her scarlet Meidiland brings up a question I have. I'm growing a low hedge of about six ruby Meidiland roses, and I've usually pruned them to about 18" canes each spring. I had read before that any cutting should be done all the way to the ground, but I just didn't trust that I should really cut them that hard. I've read recently that they can do fine with no pruning at all -- is that 100% true? Or will they flower better if they have more new wood by cutting off last year's long canes? I have to say mine have flowered quite well with regular pruning. Here's a photo from last July. They have a fairly long bloom season in early-mid summer.

Thank you, arbutus, for the additional information. Sounds promising, though I'll have to research Dark Night more if I decide to put it in my Midwestern garden. I'm keeping it on my reserve list for now. About Peter Mayle: Maryl, in my garden, Peter Mayle is not a "space-eater." In fact, it has been a rather narrow, vertical/upright bush and I've wished it would be a bit fuller on the sides. Maybe its narrowness is due to where I planted it--on the west side of my neighbor's garage (along the property line) stuffed between two bigger and more aggressive roses that maybe force Peter to grow vertically in order to get high enough to get his share of sunshine? Don't know. Pat, Peter Mayle is a fairly good bloomer for a rose that produces the biggest, fattest blooms in the garden. Like Valencia, which produces the second biggest blooms in my garden, Peter is a bit slow on the rebloom. I think it is because it takes longer for big/fat blooming roses to make those big/fat blooms! On the other hand, nearly all my roses slow down considerably--even shut down-- when we get into hot, hot, hot August--Peter Mayle included. But when Peter (or Valencia) actually bloom, they sure can be show-stoppers, so I forgive them. LOL Kate

funnelweb, do you grow Best Friend, aka Caprice de Meilland? I'm having great spring flushes, so-so autumn blooms, and almost nothing in between. Do you have a different story to tell, or a recommendation for a better bloom-power, fragrant Meilland?

Sorry betsyw I haven't got back to you earlier, computer probs. I'm not familiar with the ones you mentioned above, but let me tell you if I had to pick among my favourites for flowering, perfume, desease resistance, etc., - well all up - I'd have to go for Meilland's seduction. I garden on a bit over an acre just west of Tweed Heads (zone 9, I think, warm to hot and humid summers) and my 7 seduction roses are never without bloom until I cut the bushes a third back in mid winter and dose them with the lime-sulphur mix. A deadheading, twice a week, sees me tip 2 bucketfulls of spent blooms into the compost bin! And that is all through spring, summer and autumn. I am also quite plesed with a climbing 'Peace', though it's only been in one season. I had more less heat tolerant Meilland (mediland varieties) roses in Sydney which I can describe and name for you if you wish.
