Rosa Happiness - Climbing Rose

The Happiness® 'Meilaclost' Climbing Rose brings incomparable light to the garden with its bright, pale yellow roses which gradually fade to a creamy yellow. Abundant and robust, it offers continuous and abundant flowering from May until the first frosts, elegantly adorning walls, pergolas, and columns. Its vigorous growth and dense, dark green, disease-resistant foliage make it an ideal choice for brilliantly bringing structure to areas. Its radiant personality makes it a must-have for elegant and refined gardens.

The Happiness® 'Meilaclost' Climbing Rose belongs to the Rosaceae family. It is a creation by Meilland, part of the Large-Flowered Climbers group, and is marketed abroad under the name Smiley Face Climbing. This variety was awarded a Silver Medal at the Monza competition (Italy) in 2010, a testament to its ornamental qualities and resilience. It develops rapid and generous growth, reaching over 2 metres in height and spreading across an area of 6 to 10 m². Its sarmentous habit enables it to effectively bring structure to vertical spaces, whether trained against a wall or spiralled around a pillar. The flowers of the 'Meilaclost' climbing rose emerge in clusters of 6 to 15 flowers. Each rose blooms quickly from pointed buds, revealing an almost flat corolla measuring 10 to 11 cm in diameter. Composed of around fifteen slightly undulate petals, they open to reveal a golden-yellow stamen centre that catches the eye. The luminous yellow hue of the petals gradually lightens to a creamy yellow at maturity, offering a subtle gradient over time. Highly floriferous and continuously flowering, this rose blooms in successive waves from May-June until the first frosts with an exceptionally abundant first flush and excellent repeat flowering. Its dark green foliage creates a striking contrast and is notably disease-resistant. Its stems should be carefully trained on a trellis, wire mesh, or arch to maximise flowering. When tied horizontally, the stems encourage the growth of new flowering branches, forming a dense and spectacular mass of flowers.

Thanks to its flexible habit and luminous flowering, the Happiness® 'Meilaclost' Climbing Rose gracefully brings structure to vertical spaces, adorning them with a golden abundance from spring until the frosts. It lends itself to multiple displays—trained against a sunny wall, guided along a pergola, or shaped into a floral column to highlight a pathway or seating area. Its dense foliage will offer an elegant contrast with summer-flowering clematis such as a Clematis viticella 'Etoile Violette' whose purple flowers will intensify its radiant yellow. For a subtle and sophisticated pairing, it will blend beautifully with an 'Iceberg' rose whose white clusters will add freshness and lightness. At its base, a 'Hidcote' lavender will bring structure to the ensemble. Grown in a bed combining these complementary blooms, this rose will becomes a focal point, unifying volumes and enhancing the garden's light.
