LOVELY GREEN™ – greenish-white bedding floribunda rose – Meilland
Elegant and unusual, LOVELY GREEN™ brings a soft greenish-white glow to family gardens, giving tidy structure in small spaces while coping well with blustery, rain-laden British weather in exposed spots. Its cluster-flowered blooms appear repeatedly through the season, forming rounded pompon clusters that stay neat and hold their colour well, even in strong sunshine. The bushy, upright habit fits beautifully into compact borders, paths and front gardens, while moderate height makes it easy to manage without specialist pruning. As an own-root plant, it gradually builds a balanced bush, regenerating reliably after harsh winter spells to give long-lived structure. Given simple care and regular watering, it will root in firmly during the first year, push stronger shoots in the second, and by the third deliver its full ornamental impact.

Reasoning
Front garden feature by the entrance
The compact, bushy habit and rare greenish-white pompon flowers create a smart, distinctive welcome without overwhelming a small front garden. Its moderate height keeps windows clear and sightlines tidy, ideal for low-maintenance kerb appeal for the busy homeowner.
Short edging along paths and driveways
Regular clusters of medium-sized blooms line paths neatly, giving a soft, formal edge that still feels relaxed and cottage-like. Planting at 40–50 cm spacing produces a coherent line that is easy to trim and deadhead when convenient for the style-conscious beginner.
Small bedding groups in family gardens
Groups of 3–5 plants fill modest beds with reliable colour and structure, without demanding complex feeding or pruning. Own-root growth gives a stable stand that recovers well from accidental knocks or child play areas, reassuring the practical family gardener.
Mixed cottage-style borders
The greenish-white flowers blend effortlessly with pastel perennials and herbs such as rosemary and calamint, softening bolder tones without clashing. Continuous repeat flowering weaves the rose into the wider border picture, pleasing the cottage-planting enthusiast.
Containers and large patio pots
Its tidy, upright structure suits a 40–50 litre container, where it can anchor a small terrace or balcony display. Regular watering keeps the plant flowering steadily, and own-root vigour helps it recover well after repotting, ideal for the space-limited urban gardener.
Low, informal flowering hedge
Planted at 40 cm intervals, it forms a low, flowering barrier that defines boundaries without appearing heavy. The moderate thorniness discourages trampling, while repeat blooms provide seasonal interest for those wanting a soft divide rather than a solid fence, suiting the privacy-conscious owner.
Cut flowers for home arrangements
The rounded, very full flowers in subtle greenish-white tones make unusual, long-lasting vase material, especially when cut in clusters. While the variety is unscented, it complements fragrant stems from elsewhere in the garden, appealing to the home-arranging creative.
Coastal or wind-exposed beds
The bushy, moderately dense foliage and stable framework cope well with showery winds, holding pompon clusters without collapsing in typical British changeable weather. Once established, its own-root system anchors the plant firmly, making it suitable for the pragmatic coastal gardener.
Styling ideas
Cottage Border Glow – combine LOVELY GREEN™ with soft pink echinacea and airy calamint for a relaxed, repeating rhythm of flower clusters – ideal for romantic cottage-garden lovers
Neat Front Edge – line a short path with evenly spaced plants to create a low green-and-white edging that stays below window level – good for tidy, time-poor homeowners
Patio Centrepiece – plant one rose in a 40–50 litre clay pot with silver-leaved herbs at the rim for a calm, elegant focal point – suited to balcony and terrace gardeners
Soft Screen Strip – use a narrow row along a drive or boundary, underplanted with low grasses, to define space without a harsh hedge – attractive for families wanting gentle separation
Green-White Palette Bed – mix LOVELY GREEN™ with white salvias and lime-toned foliage plants for a subtle, modern monochrome scheme – perfect for design-conscious beginners
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Floribunda bedding rose, registered as MEItiver, marketed as LOVELY GREEN™ (Lovely Green). Belongs to the florists rose group and the commercial bed rose group.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Alain Meilland, Meilland International, France, with introduction and registration in 2005. Parentage is not documented; selected for distinctive greenish-white flower colour.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, upright habit reaching about 70–90 cm in height and 60–80 cm in spread. Moderately dense, mid-green, slightly glossy foliage with moderate prickliness on stems.
Flower morphology
Very full, globular to pompon flowers with more than 40 petals, borne in decorative clusters. Medium flower size around 4–7 cm, remontant with an abundant second flush in season.
Colour data and phenology
Greenish-white blooms (RHS 155D, 138D) with a pale green centre and white outer petals. Colour lightens only moderately in strong sun, maintaining a soft green tone on petal backs.
Fragrance and aroma
Classed as unscented with no noticeable fragrance in garden use. Primarily valued for its unusual colour, form and repeat flowering rather than aromatic or cosmetic qualities.
Hip characteristics
Rose hips are rarely produced due to the very double flower form; occasional small hips of about 10–15 mm in diameter may form, usually without significant ornamental presence.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Moderate resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; requires basic integrated care. Hardy to about –21 to –18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish Zone 3) under normal garden conditions.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny sites with well-drained soil; regular watering during drought improves performance. Recommended spacing 40–75 cm depending on hedge, mass or specimen use; suitable for large containers.
LOVELY GREEN™ offers rare greenish-white pompon flowers, compact bedding habit and dependable repeat bloom on a resilient own-root framework; a thoughtful choice if you would like an easy yet distinctive rose.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its very double, semi-double, semi-open blooms make it poorly attractive to pollinators, as the double flower form and reduced stamen accessibility limit insects’ access to nectar and pollen.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its very double flowers conceal the stamens; primarily an ornamental cultivar.

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.
