In the garden
Rosa Red Parfum de Provence ('Meiafone'PBR) is a hybrid tea rose belonging to the genus Rosa and the family Rosaceae. As a named cultivar it is marketed under the 'Meiafone'PBR designation and produces its main display in the UK between June and September. Plant it where air can move freely around the stems and where surface water does not sit; roses perform best in well-drained ground with access to light. Feed with an appropriate rose fertiliser in spring and after a major flush of flowers, and apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and renew stems, removing any weak or crossing growth to improve vigour and airflow. This cultivar suits a classic rose border, a dedicated cutting bed or a prominent position by a patio where blooms can be appreciated. Because its flowering season runs from June to September, place Rosa Red Parfum de Provence ('Meiafone'PBR) where you can harvest stems at peak bloom through the summer months.
