Description

A mutation of the famous bush rose of the same name, the 'Edith Piaf'® Meiramboysar climbing rose embodies elegance with its large, velvety, red flowers with an intense fragrance. Its vigorous habit reaching up to 3 metres in height makes it an ideal choice for adorning walls, pergolas, and fences. Its continuous, abundant flowering in spring and autumn persist throughout the summer. Its dark green, disease-resistant foliage enhances the deep brilliance of its blooms, creating a majestic presence in vertical garden arrangements.

The 'Edith Piaf'® Meiramboysar climbing rose is a variety introduced by Meilland in 2010, paying tribute to the French songwriters' icon by translating her passion and intensity through spectacular flowering. It belongs to the Rosaceae family and the group of Large-Flowered Climbing Roses. Its powerful climbing habit enables it to reach 2.5 to 3 metres in height, with woody climbing stems that can cover 12 to 15 m². Its rich, dark green, dense, and disease-resistant foliage harmoniously accompanies its sumptuous roses and remains healthy throughout the season. For optimal effect, it is recommended to train its branches horizontally, limiting sap rise and promoting abundant flowering along their entire length. Its velvety textured turbinate roses of an intense and deep red, enhances its refined allure. Formed of 55 to 60 petals, they form large romantic clusters borne on slightly shorter stems than those of bush roses. When in fully bloom, the roses reach 12 to 13 cm in diameter, revealing a powerful and refined fragrance with fruity hints of apricot and peach, subtly enhanced by a whiff of May Rose. Continuously floriferous, this rose offers a spectacular first flowering in spring, followed by more discreet blooming throughout the summer, before producing abundant reblooming in autumn.

TheEdith Piaf® climbing rose will naturally finds its place on a pergola, against a wall or tall fence, where it will display its long branches covered in blooms throughout the season. Its deep red, intense, and sophisticated colour harmonises perfectly with purple, white, or blue-violet hues, creating subtle and refined contrasts. For a romantic and balanced combination, it can be paired with a ‘The President’ clematis whose large blue-violet flowers will add a touch of freshness and lighten the density of its flowering. At its base, ‘Patricia’ geraniums will extend the colour palette with their bright magenta pink, and cover the ground with a flexible foliage that will soften the rose's structure. For a structural effect and interesting play of foliage, it could be accompanied by a Perovskia ‘Blue Spire’ whose airy silver-blue inflorescences will delicately contrast with the intensity of its roses. Planted alone or combined with other climbing plants, this rose will bring relief and elegance to both classic and more contemporary gardens.

Planting and care

Plant your Rosa 'Edith Piaf' in a rather sunny position. Roses are tolerant but will not like excessive lime and perform better in fertile, well-drained soil. They will adapt to any garden provided the ground is well worked and sufficiently rich. To plant your rose, prepare the soil by breaking it up finely and adding an amendment such as dried blood or dehydrated horn at the bottom of the planting hole. Water generously after planting to eliminate any air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to encourage rooting. At the end of winter, prune the oldest stems back to 3-5 buds above the ground (at the lowest point), choosing outward-facing buds for a more elegant habit. Take this opportunity to remove any dead wood and unsightly branches. Prune at an angle above a bud. As flowering progresses, deadhead to stimulate the growth of new buds.

If planting a climbing or rambling rose near a living tree, the rose's root system will compete with the well-established tree. To control watering, here's a tip: plant the rose in a large container with the bottom removed, placed at the base of the tree. The tree's roots won't penetrate the container for at least a year. Remove the container after one year, for example by cutting one side, without disturbing the rose's root system. The rose will have had time to develop a deep root system and will be more resilient.

Roses often develop spots or look unsightly by late summer, but this does not affect their growth. These spots are not harmful to the rose; it's a natural phenomenon. Follow all our advice to remedy this and read our article: Help: My Roses Have Spots
