ALTESSE™ 75 – white-pink hybrid tea rose – Meilland
Elegant ALTESSE™ 75 brings classic hybrid-tea blooms to everyday gardens, with neatly formed, exhibition-style flowers in a refined white and raspberry-pink bicolour that read beautifully from the pavement and patio. Its upright, medium-height habit and dense, glossy foliage make it ideal as a smart front-garden focal point or in a small group for a structured yet cottage-style look. Bred for reliable repeat flowering, it produces a generous second flush through summer, even in typical British weather with blustery showers and the odd spell of strong winds, especially when the soil is prepared with decent drainage. Mild, classic rose fragrance adds a subtle note around paths and seating, while own-root strength underpins long-term durability in borders and beds as the plant settles and matures year by year.
Glossy, dark green foliage of Altesse™ 75.

Target area
Reasoning
Front garden specimen by the path
The upright, medium-sized bush forms a tidy, vertical accent that fits perfectly beside a drive or front path without overwhelming a small garden. The exhibition-style blooms are displayed at eye level for maximum impact towards the street, suiting those who want a refined focal point without advanced pruning skills, particularly beginners.
Small mixed border with perennials
Dense, dark green foliage and clear bicolour flowers blend well with perennials such as lady’s mantle and ornamental grasses, giving a composed, cottage-style border. Own-root growth builds a balanced, long-lived bush that integrates steadily into existing planting, appealing to homeowners.
Cutting row for home flower arrangements
Solitary, well-formed hybrid-tea blooms on upright stems lend themselves naturally to small vases and occasional indoor arrangements. Regular cutting encourages further flowering, so even a short row provides elegant stems across the season for those who like to bring garden colour indoors, ideal for hobby-gardeners.
Compact rose bed of 3–5 plants
Planting in a small group at the recommended spacing creates a coherent drift of matching flowers and foliage, giving a smart, easy-to-maintain feature bed. The medium disease resistance supports a presentable display with only basic monitoring and timely care, manageable for busy-owners.
Border anchor in family gardens
The sturdy, upright structure and moderate spread allow this rose to act as an anchor point at the back or middle of a border, without becoming unruly. Own-root plants regenerate well from lower buds if cut back after damage, giving reassurance of long-term structure for cautious gardeners.
Sunny, well-drained clay or chalk positions
Preferring a sunny site, ALTESSE™ 75 performs reliably when planted into improved, free-draining soil, including heavier or chalky ground once properly prepared. This makes it a sound option for typical British plots exposed to wet spells and occasional strong winds, suiting practical planners.
Low-maintenance ornamental focus near seating
The mild, classic rose scent and repeat flowering mean that once established, light annual pruning and standard feeding keep the plant attractive without complex routines. Medium maintenance with periodic checks for rust is usually sufficient, appealing to time-pressed urbanites.
Large decorative containers (40–50 litres minimum)
In a generous container with quality compost and steady watering, the upright habit and glossy foliage form a clean, architectural feature for patios or doorways. Own-root resilience supports long-term use in pots where occasional repotting is possible, suiting space-conscious balcony-owners.
Styling ideas
Pathway-focus – Use one or two ALTESSE™ 75 along a front path, underplanted with low lady’s mantle for a frothy green skirt and soft contrast – for owners seeking a smart yet welcoming entrance.
Cottage-duo – Pair with dusky mauve or lavender perennials and airy grasses so the bicolour blooms read as refined highlights in a relaxed cottage-style mix – for those who favour informal but ordered planting.
Cutting-corner – Dedicate a sunny corner bed to 3–5 plants at the recommended spacing, kept simple with mulch and straightforward pruning to supply reliable stems for the house – for gardeners who enjoy arranging flowers.
Patio-centrepiece – Plant in a 40–50 litre terracotta or stone-effect pot with trailing thyme or low sedges at the base to frame the upright rose – for balcony and terrace users wanting a single, showpiece container.
Family-border – Place one plant as a structural anchor in a mixed family border, surrounded by easy perennials and spring bulbs so colour builds through the year around the dependable rose – for busy families preferring uncomplicated upkeep.
Technical cultivar profile
Characteristic
Data
Name and registration
ALTESSE™ 75 hybrid tea rose, Meilland; commercial hybrid tea cultivar for garden and cutting use, previously introduced in the USA as Anticipation; collection: Hybrid tea rose.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Marie-Louise Meilland, France, 1975, from unnamed seedlings; introduced in 1990 by Meilland International and partners for garden and exhibition use in several markets.
Growth and structural characteristics
Upright hybrid tea, around 100–130 cm high and 60–85 cm wide, with dense, dark green, glossy foliage and noticeably thorny stems; forms a structured, medium-sized bush in borders or containers.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, double, solitary hybrid-tea blooms with 26–39 petals, cup- to chalice-shaped; remontant flowering pattern with a clearly abundant second flush under normal garden care.
Colour data and phenology
White to cream base petals edged vivid pink, softening to salmon-rose tones; strong contrast between light centres and deeper margins; good colour retention through opening and fading phases in typical conditions.
Fragrance and aroma
Mild, delicately rose-scented fragrance, noticeable at close range without being overpowering; primarily grown for visual display rather than strong scent or aromatic harvesting uses.
Hip characteristics
Occasional small, ovoid, orange-red hips about 10–14 mm across may form after flowering, adding discreet late-season interest but not produced in heavy quantities.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Medium overall disease resistance, with good resistance to powdery mildew and black spot, and moderate rust susceptibility; winter-hardy approximately to RHS H6 and USDA zone 7b under typical garden protection.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny positions with improved, well-drained soil; ideal spacing 40–75 cm depending on use; medium maintenance with occasional pest and disease checks; responds well to standard hybrid-tea pruning.
ALTESSE™ 75 offers refined bicolour blooms, an upright, space-efficient habit and reliable repeat flowering on a resilient own-root plant, making it a thoughtful choice for long-lasting, easy-care structure in your garden.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its large, double flowers make it less attractive to pollinators, as the double flower form and reduced accessibility of the stamens limit insects' access to nectar and pollen.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers restrict access to the stamens, making it primarily ornamental.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”; it illustrates the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root cultivation in a tangible way: how the plant is built up, what the root system is like and how the shoot system regenerates. The recordings were therefore made at different times and with plants at various stages of development, so mixed foliage levels and differing stages of growth may appear in the videos. They are not a ‘sample’ of the batch dispatched, but a visual explanation of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical for the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown in the upper part of the product page.
