Description
The 'Meiafonesar' BOTERO® Climbing Rose is a modern creation that wins over all lovers of beautiful flowers. Its continuous flowering blooms throughout the fine season, producing an abundance of densely double, fragrant, large red flowers that will charm you with their fruity hints reminiscent of red berries. This medium-sized Meilland Rose will easily find its place growing up a trellis near your fromt door. Its attractive satin-like, medium green foliage is highly disease-resistant, enabling you to enjoy all its advantages without any concerns.
The term Rose, Rosa in Latin, denotes the flagship genus of the Rosaceae family, which owes its name to it. The Rosa genus is estimated to include approximately 40,000 horticultural varieties, as this beloved genus among developers has been the focus of intense work by growers for centuries. The Botero Rose thus stems from Meilland's research, one of our French pioneers in producing new varieties globally renowned through the success of the 'Madame Antoine Meilland' rose ('Peace' in English-speaking regions). This rose's name pays tribute to the Colombian painter and sculptor Fernando Botero (1932-2023), known for his rounded figures. Launched in 2012, this is the sarmentous form of the BOTERO® Meiafone shrub rose introduced to the market nearly 10 years earlier. Trained up a support, trellis, pergola, or other structure, this rose will reach between 2 and 2.5 m in height and spread. Its compound, medium green foliage with a slight olive hue has a satin-like surface and is highly resistant to common rose diseases. It thus forms a beautiful green backdrop to highlight the intense red flowering. From June onwards, the flowers bloom profusely, almost continuously until October, especially if you remove faded flowers as they appear. After the spring abundance, you will still have blooms in mid-summer, followed by another intense wave in late summer and autumn. The turbinate flower buds open into a multitude of petals, 80 to 100, forming a slightly ruffled centre at full maturity, reminiscent of some old roses. The flowers can then measure up to 13 or 14 cm in diameter, and this abundance is accompanied by a powerful fragrance akin to May roses, with hints of red berries evoking currants and blackcurrants. Delighting your senses, this splendid Rose will thrive in full sun, in most not-too-dry soil types, and you can create cut flower displays with its fragrant blooms.
The 'Meiafonesar' BOTERO® Rose can be described as having 'high seductive potential' as its fragrance can be addictive while no one will remain indifferent to its colours as well as the size of its flowers. Train it near your front door to welcome visitors in the most beautiful way and enjoy its generous fragrance. If you train it on a pergola, pair it with other climbers like Clematis, which complement roses perfectly. Extend the flowering season to the extreme by also planting a Jasminum nudiflorum, a Winter Jasmine, another sarmentous plant that can easily be trained and will offer its bright yellow star-shaped flowers between December and March, bringing joy when grey weather and low skies prevail.
Planting and care
Plant your Botero Rose in a sunny position. Roses are tolerant but dislike excessive lime and thrive best in fertile, well-drained soil. They will adapt to any garden as long as the ground is well-prepared and sufficiently rich. To plant your rose, work the soil by breaking it up finely and adding an organic fertiliser such as dried blood or dehydrated horn at the bottom of the planting hole. Water generously after planting to remove any air pockets. Provide regular watering for a few weeks to encourage root establishment.
In late winter, shorten the side branches that have flowered to three buds. Use this pruning opportunity to remove any dead wood and unsightly branches. Prune at a slant above a bud to enable rainwater to drain quickly. As flowering progresses, deadhead to stimulate the growth of new buds.
If planting your climbing rose near a living tree, the rose's root system will compete with the well-established tree roots. To avoid this, here’s a trick: plant the rose in a large container with the bottom removed, placed at the base of the tree. The tree roots won’t penetrate the container for at least a year. Remove the container in the second year, for example by cutting one side, without disturbing the rose's root system. By then, the rose will have had time to develop a deep root system and will be more resilient.
This rose is highly disease-resistant, but if it does develop spots by late summer, it won’t affect its growth. These spots are harmless and a natural occurrence. Follow our advice to address them and read our article: Help! My Roses Have Spots

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
