education

The tall rose 'Meteor' forms a strong, compact to slightly spreading shrub. The 'Meteor' is about 180 cm to a maximum of 280 cm high and 150 to 200 cm wide. The dark pink to carmine red flowers, arranged individually or in clusters of up to 5 individual flowers, are formed from 17 to 40, slightly curved petals . They form a rose petal approximately 7 cm in size. The pointed, dark red to violet-red rose buds open and initially form a spherical to cup-shaped, in a later flowering stage a flat, double-filled flower. The flowers of the rose variety 'Meteor' are characterized by an intense fragrance of old roses marked.

The rose variety has medium-sized, oblong to oval, serrated leaves . The dull foliage , reminiscent of Gallica roses , initially appears light green on long, curved shoots that are covered with numerous greenish to reddish-brown spines .

The rose variety with good secondary flowering is extremely hardy ( USDA climate zone 4b to 9b). It blooms for a long time in the summer months until autumn and is resistant to the well-known rose diseases .

The rose 'Meteor' thrives in well-drained soil, preferably in sunny locations on slightly acidic to moderately alkaline soils. The rose is often grown as a climbing rose. It is suitable for planting near-natural gardens and cottage gardens as well as for background planting of flower borders . This robust rose variety can also be planted as a solitary shrub. It can be combined well in the garden with tall grasses , shrubs and woody plants such as delphinium , phlox , clematis and lonicera .

For loosely bound, naturalistic bouquets and flower arrangements, the rose is mostly used in combination with other wild and rambler roses due to its intense color and fragrance .

The rose variety is found in many rosariums and historical gardens around the world, including the Montreal Botanical Garden , the Borova hora Arboretum (Slovakia), the Carla Fineschi Foundation Rose Garden (Tuscany), the Roseraies du Parc de la Tete d'Or Botanical Garden ( Lyon, France), in the Rosarium in Doblhoffpark (Baden, Austria), in Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe (Hesse) and in the Europa-Rosarium Sangerhausen .

Naming
