Rosa 'Meibriacus' CLAUDE BRASSEUR® hybrid tea shrub rose (Meilland)

CLAUDE BRASSEUR® is a Meilland hybrid-tea rose from 2006. It makes large, 13-14 cm across, flowers with strong and unique perfume. The flower colour is mauve with lilac and light purple pink tones. It is a cross of Charles de Gaulle® and Yves Piaget®. Leaves are medium green, partly glossy, and very healthy. It grows fast into an upright, compact shrub. It flowers continuously from June until frosts.

Planting instructions: Prepare a hole of size 30x30 cm. Put your rose in the way that the grafting point is 3 cm deep in the soil. Water well and cover new shoots with soil or bark mulch about 15 cm high. Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun. During the flowering season regular feeding is recommended.

Pruning: Regular deadheading during the flowering season will enhance production of new flower buds - remove stems with spent flowers above the first leaf with 5 leaflets where the stem is strong and does not bend. Hard prune the whole shrub in early spring after frosts to 3-5 live buds above the ground.
