Description
The Victor Hugo® rose embodies both power and poetry, much like the works of the famous French writer and poet. It is a robust variety with timeless charm distinguished by its large, redcurrant-coloured flowers and intense May rose fragrance. Generous and vigorous, this bush flowers from spring until the first frosts, with foliage that remains elegant throughout the season. Its large, fragrant roses, visible from afar in flower beds, work wonders as cut flowers.
The Victor Hugo® ‘Meivestal’ rose is a creation by Meilland introduced to the market in 1985. This variety is also sold under other names depending on the region and distributor. Among its synonyms are 'Dreams Come True', 'Senator Burda®', and 'Spirit of Youth'. It was honoured in 1985 with the Fragrance Award in The Hague, Netherlands, in recognition of its exceptional scent. Belonging to the group of large-flowering bush roses also known as hybrid teas, this rose produces large, solitary flowers and has a perpetual flowering habit: it blooms several times during the season.
The Victor Hugo® rose has a bushy, ramified, and well-balanced habit. At maturity, it reaches a height of 90 cm to 1.10 m with a spread of 50-60 cm. Its flowers measure approximately 13 cm in diameter. Each one blooms slowly around a turbinate centre, elegantly displaying its 35 petals curved into a virtually perfect shape. The flowers are an intense redcurrant hue with subtly rosy, velvety highlights.They exude a powerful fragrance typical of the May rose. Flowering is abundant and extends from May-June to October. The foliage is dense, bright green, with a satin-like texture. It is deciduous, falling in autumn and regrowing the following spring. The stems are thorny, as is common with most roses.
With its magnificent fragrance and long stems, this modern Victor Hugo® ‘Meivestal’ rosebush is perfect for creating prestigious cut flower displays. In the garden, it can be integrated into a large rose bed or planted in groups of 3 to 5 within a flower border. It also thrives in pots. The radiant colour of its flowers pairs naturally with white, as well as the entire range of blues, purples, and violets. The opulence of its roses calls for more natural encompasing blooms: surround it with Nepetas, Verbascum phoeniceum 'Flush of White', or hardy geraniums, for example. Its flowers make elegant cut flowers that will fill the home with their fragrance.

Planting and care
To plant your Victor Hugo 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 establishment. Also remember to feed your rose with a special rose fertiliser to stimulate flowering. Choose a sunny spot - or partial shade in very hot regions.

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).
