The Legacy
of French Roses

Roses created with heritage, passion and a devotion to lasting beauty.

At Meilland, creation lies at the heart of everything they do. Each year, tens of thousands of hand pollinations are carried out in their French research centre, bringing together artistry and science in the search for new roses of exceptional charm and resilience. Colour, perfume, form and longevity are considered with extraordinary care, ensuring that only the most remarkable seedlings continue through the long selection process.

From hundreds of thousands of new plants, only a precious few progress to international trials. Here, they are tested across varying climates and environments, ensuring that every rose introduced by Meilland meets the highest standards of performance and beauty. This devotion to craft has resulted in some of the world’s most beloved roses, each carrying the unmistakable signature of French refinement.

Meilland’s collection spans expressive cut roses and enduring garden varieties, all created to offer moments of grace and emotion. Their roses are celebrated for their harmonious shapes, captivating colours and lasting blooms. Whether chosen by florists, brides, gardeners or rose lovers, each Meilland variety reflects a heritage of love, tradition and artistry that continues to flourish across generations.
