About
Rosa Alphonse Daudet ('Meirouve') is a hybrid tea rose that produces repeat flowering flushes from June to September. It belongs to the genus Rosa within the family Rosaceae and suits formal rose borders and cutting beds. Plant where it receives plentiful light and good drainage, and prune in late winter to renew stems. Regular deadheading during the flowering season sustains bloom production.

In the garden
Rosa Alphonse Daudet ('Meirouve') is a hybrid tea in the genus Rosa, family Rosaceae, that flowers from June to September. As a hybrid tea its growth habit typically produces distinct stems that are useful for cutting and for establishing a formal rose line within a mixed border. Choose a site with ample light and soil that drains well; incorporate organic matter at planting to improve structure and long-term moisture-holding capacity. Set the plant at the same depth as it grew in the nursery container, water into the root zone rather than wetting the foliage, and apply a balanced rose fertiliser in spring as shoots begin to grow. Prune in late winter to remove dead wood and open the centre to air and light, which encourages healthy new stems for the summer flushes. Use Rosa Alphonse Daudet ('Meirouve') where single-stem blooms are required: cutting beds, clipped rose borders, or as a specimen within mixed plantings. Keep spent flowers removed during its June to September display to promote further flushes of bloom and the cleaner appearance that cutting varieties are chosen for.
