Description

The Baroness Edmond de Rothschild® rose is an iconic variety from the Meilland house, awarded numerous times in international competitions. This variety has captivated rose enthusiasts for decades with its bicoloured flowers featuring an intense Solferino purple with a silvery reverse, and exuding a powerful fragrance reminiscent of May roses. This large-flowered shrub rose adds a fantastic touch of colour and fragrance to the garden. It is also highly prized as a cut flower for creating scented vase arrangements

The Baroness Edmond de Rothschild ® 'Meigriso' Rose was created in 1968 by Meilland. This variety belongs to the Hybrid Tea group renowned for their elegant large flowers and continuous flowering. It has been widely awarded in prestigious international competitions, receiving notably: Gold Medals in Rome, Le Rœulx, and Lyon in 1968, Silver Medals in Geneva and Courtrai in 1968, the Golden Rose (Theodolinde Crown) Valbypark Certificate in 1969, the Most Fragrant Rose award in Monza in 1969, and a Fragrance Prize in Belfast. This rose was awarded the ADR Label (Germany) in 1971, a mark of robustness and adaptability to various climatic conditions.
This rose has a bushy, upright habit, reaching 80 cm to 1m in height and 60 to 80 cm in spread. Its dense, glossy, dark green foliage provides a beautiful contrast to the intense colour of the flowers. Formed of ovate and pointed leaflets, the leaves are thick and resistant to common fungal diseases in roses.
Approximately 12 cm in diameter, the flowers display a classic turbinate form and consist of around 40 petals. Their intense Solferino pink hue, a deep and luminous shade between fuchsia pink and magenta, gives the rose a striking and refined appearance. Inspired by the name of the Battle of Solferino in 1859, this colour refers to a vivid rosy-red dye popularised after this event. The petals' silvery reverse enhances the elegance of each flower. This rose is also cherished for its powerful fragrance reminiscent of May roses which perfumes the air. The flowering period lasting from May until the first frosts offers a continuous spectacle throughout the growing season.

This modern Baroness Edmond de Rothschild® rose deserves a prime spot in a lush garden. Placed at the back of a mixed border, it will pair perfectly with the delicate charm of an ‘Felicia’ old rose, whose pale pink flowers exude a sweet fragrance, and the golden abundance of a David Austin ‘Graham Thomas’ rose, which will add a warm glow to the combination. At its feet, a Nepeta faassenii ‘Six Hills Giant’ will form a wavy carpet of lavender-blue, to which a few white and pink foxgloves could be added. Together, these plants will create a structured and fluid display where each bloom seamlessly blends into the next, in a garden with a soft, natural rhythm through the seasons.

A tale of elegance and prestige:

Born on 18 April 1932, Nadine de Rothschild - Baroness Edmond de Rothschild - became famous for her work dedicated to etiquette and the art of French living, embodying elegance and refinement. The Baroness Edmond de Rothschild® Meigriso rose is a descendant of the legendary Mme A. Meilland (Peace), one of the most acclaimed roses in history. Not to be confused with the ‘Baroness Adolph de Rothschild’ (syn. ‘Baroness Rothschild’), an old rose from the Hybrid Continuously Flowering group created in 1868 by Pernet, which stands out for its timeless charm with large pale pink flowers.

Planting and care

To plant your Baroness Edmond de Rothschild rose, prepare the soil by digging a 30 cm cube, breaking up the earth well and adding a base fertiliser such as dried blood or dehydrated horn at the bottom of the planting hole. Place your plant after removing it from its pot, covering the top of the root ball with 3 cm of soil, backfill and water thoroughly to eliminate any air pockets. In dry weather, water regularly for a few weeks to encourage root development. Also remember to feed your rose with a special rose fertiliser to stimulate flowering. Choose a sunny spot, or partial shade in the afternoon in very hot regions.
