Papa Meilland roses are one of the best roses to plant in the Melbourne climate. They thrive in areas that experience both hot and cool temperatures, meaning they adapt well to this region. Additionally, they require little maintenance and boast excellent disease resistance.
It is recommended to prune your Papa Meilland roses in the early spring before the start of new growth. Start by trimming off any dead, damaged or diseased canes, crossing branches, and spent blooms. Then reduce the length of longer shoots down to the height that you desire. Lastly, thin out overcrowded areas and cut back any remaining canes for a naturally balanced shape. Taking the time to perform regular pruning is essential to rose care as it allows for maximum airflow, keeping diseases at bay and promoting healthier blooming throughout the season.
Papa Meilland roses are best grown in a well-draining, loamy soil with a slightly acidic pH of 6.0 and 6.8. To ensure optimal nutrition, the soil must be enriched with organic matter, such as mature compost or well–rotted manure. As Papa Meilland roses prefer humus-rich soils and moist conditions, it is important to mulch around their base with organic mulches such as wood chippings or bark chips to help lock in moisture and vital nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash. Systematic deep watering of the root zone is also important for healthy growth throughout the seasons.
