Rosa Eureka - Hybrid Tea Rose

The Eureka® 'Meizambaizt' Rose combines excellent floribundity and great hardiness, a rare combination of qualities that make this shrub a top variety. Offering abundant and continuous flowering, it particularly shines at the end of the season when its numerous ochre-yellow flowers continue to warm the garden. Its dark, glossy, and almost evergreen foliage gives it an interesting presence throughout the year. With excellent disease resistance, this outstanding rose requires little maintenance.

The Eureka® Meizambaizt Rose is a creation by Meilland International developed before 2012. This rose has been awarded for its exceptional qualities, winning several prestigious accolades. In 2011, it received a certificate in Lyon, a gold medal in Monza, Italy, and a certificate at the Bagatelle Competition in Paris. The following year, in 2012, it won first prize at the Altera Rosa show in Avignon. Introduced in the UUA under the name 'Gold Struck™', this rose belongs to the horticultural group of Grandiflora roses. Grandifloras are hybrids resulting from the cross-breeding between hybrid tea roses and floribunda roses, combining the size and shape of the former with the floribundity of the latter. ​

The Eureka® 'Meizambaizt' Rose has a bushy, dense, and upright habit, reaching a height of 70 to 90 cm. Its foliage is dark green, glossy, and often persists through winter, at least partially. The leaves are compound, with ovate leaflets and slightly dentate edges. ​The flowers of about 10 cm in diameter display an ochre-yellow hue with coppery undertones. They consist of 25 to 26 petals and are characterised by their traditional shape, often cup-shaped or slightly turbinate. They bloom in small clusters of 2 to 5 units, with a very subtle fragrance. The flowering is continuous, beginning in May-June, sporadically renewing in summer, and ending in October or November with the first frosts. The autumn flush is particularly abundant. ​The stems are thorny, a common characteristic among roses. ​

The history of this rose reflects the expertise of Meilland International, who for decades have strived to create varieties combining aesthetics, hardiness, and floribundity. The success of the Eureka® Meizambaizt Rose on the international stage confirms the exceptional quality of this variety.​

The Eureka® Meizambaizt Rose will easily find its place in any garden, which it will enliven with its bright flowering for weeks. It can be used to bring structure to a flower bed, border a pathway, or adorn a patio in a pot. Its colours will pair well with white, blue, mauve, or orange blooms. For example, you can pair it with a 'Happy Chappy' ground-cover rose with multicoloured flowers, a small Rigo Innocencia® white rose, and California poppies.
