ANDRE LE NOTRE ® – pink hybrid tea rose – Meilland
Created for gardeners who love classic, luxuriant flowers yet prefer straightforward care, ANDRE LE NOTRE ® brings large, cupped pastel-pink blooms with a strong, sweet-fruity fragrance to the family garden. This upright hybrid tea forms an elegant bush for borders and specimen plantings, rewarding you with a generous second flush in summer for long, season-spanning colour. In typical British conditions it performs best with simple, regular spraying and sensible watering, especially where persistent damp can increase fungal pressure and where exposure to wind and rain calls for a slightly more sheltered position. As an own-root rose it develops steadily into a durable feature, regenerating well from pruning and keeping its ornamental value over many years, with roots building in year one, strong shoots in year two, and full garden impact by year three. Ideal for cutting, it provides beautifully shaped exhibition-style blooms on sturdy stems, while the pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2-litre format makes planting and establishment reassuringly simple for both beginners and experienced gardeners.

Target area
Reasoning
Front garden feature bush
The upright, medium-tall habit and very large, exhibition-style blooms make this rose a strong focal point near an entrance or path. Planted as a single specimen, it shows off its pastel-pink colour and sweet, fruity scent without crowding smaller spaces, suiting appearance-focused beginners.
Decorative cutting row
ANDRE LE NOTRE ® is bred as a hybrid tea with solitary, XL flowers on long stems, ideal for high-quality cut blooms. Plant in a sunny, accessible row, and with basic feeding and protection you can harvest fragrant, pastel roses through the season, ideal for home floristry enthusiasts.
Classic rose border in small family gardens
Its recommended spacing of around 55–90 cm allows flexible use in mixed rose borders where you want a structured yet romantic look. The upright habit and moderately dense, glossy foliage help it integrate neatly among other shrubs in modest UK family plots, suiting tidy-border gardeners.
Season-long focal point near seating areas
With remontant flowering and a plentiful second flush, this variety brings repeated waves of bloom and fragrance close to patios, benches or terraces. Regular deadheading and light feeding will keep colour coming from early summer into autumn, perfect for those who enjoy lingering outdoor evenings.
Romantic cottage-style bed
The soft, warm pastel pink with peachy shading blends beautifully with perennials and cottage favourites in gentle colour schemes. Combine with airy companions to offset the very double blooms, creating a layered, nostalgic effect appreciated by lovers of traditional, romantic planting.
Structured hedge or row in sunny side gardens
Planted at about 50 cm centres, this hybrid tea forms an orderly, flower-lined row along drives or paths. The consistent height of 100–140 cm provides rhythm and structure, while pruning can be adjusted for either taller display or lower, denser growth, ideal for orderly-hedge planners.
Large decorative containers (40–50 L and above)
In big, stable pots of at least 40–50 litres, the strong root system of this own-root plant can develop into a lasting container specimen. Good drainage and regular watering help it cope with sun and breezes on terraces or balconies, fitting busy urban gardeners.
Rose bed in slightly sheltered, well-drained spots
Best in sunny sites with decent air flow and drainage, this variety benefits from a position that avoids the harshest wind and prolonged leaf wetness, supporting routine UK plant protection. Regular, simple spraying supports health where rain and wind can quickly spread fungal problems, reassuring cautious beginners.
Styling ideas
Cottage Harmony – Combine with soft blues and mauves (nepeta, lavender, hardy geraniums) for a relaxed, pastel cottage feel centred on its large, full blooms – ideal for romantic-style gardeners.
Entrance Statement – Plant one or three bushes by the front path with low box or Ilex crenata edging to frame the upright form and XL flowers – suited to homeowners wanting smart kerb appeal.
Cutting Corner – Dedicate a sunny bed to rows of ANDRE LE NOTRE ®, underplanted with low, unobtrusive groundcovers, for easy access to scented stems – perfect for home florists.
Patio Focus – Use a single plant in a 50–60 litre terracotta pot with trailing seasonal annuals around the rim, placing it near seating to enjoy the strong fragrance – good for balcony and terrace users.
Structured Border – Alternate this rose with compact evergreen shrubs to give rhythm and winter backbone, letting the pastel flowers become the summer highlight – appealing to those who value year-round structure.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose; registered as MEIceppus, traded as ANDRE LE NOTRE ® Romantica® MEIceppus; ARS exhibition name Betty White™ for show purposes.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Alain Meilland (Meilland International) in France from Pink Panther × Charleston ’88 × Yakimour; introduced and registered in 2001 after selection in 2000.
Awards and recognition
Highly decorated exhibition rose with multiple 2000 awards, including gold medals in Rome and Kortrijk, fragrance awards and people’s choice titles at Monza, plus recognition in Geneva and Madrid trials.
Growth and structural characteristics
Upright, medium-tall shrub typically 100–140 cm high and 65–95 cm wide, with moderately dense, glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickliness; weak self-cleaning, so spent blooms need deadheading.
Flower morphology
Very double, cupped flowers with a pronounced medium-centred form, typically solitary on stems and extra-large in size; over 40 petals, providing a lush, exhibition-style bloom for garden or vase.
Colour data and phenology
Soft pastel pink with subtle peach shading at the petal base; outer petals powder pink. Colour lightens to very pale, almost ivory pink as blooms age; repeat-flowering with a generous second flush.
Fragrance and aroma
Strongly scented hybrid tea with a sweet, fruity perfume intensity noted in international trials; primarily ornamental as the fully double form limits access for pollinators despite the inviting fragrance.
Hip characteristics
Hip set generally sparse because of the very double flowers; where formed, hips are small, red, spherical, about 10–14 mm in diameter, and usually of minor ornamental significance in the autumn garden.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to around −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3) but with moderate susceptibility to powdery mildew and black spot and high rust sensitivity; regular, preventive plant protection is advisable.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny, well-drained sites at 50–90 cm spacing. Needs regular watering in dry periods and routine spraying. Suited to borders, hedging, specimen use and cutting, on its own roots for long-term performance.
ANDRE LE NOTRE ® offers XL pastel blooms, strong perfume and reliable repeat flowering on a long-lived own-root bush, making it a refined choice if you enjoy classic roses and are happy to give a little extra care.

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.
