PRINCESSE DE MONACO® GPT – cream-white-pink climbing rose – Meilland
This elegant climbing rose brings a touch of classic romance to British front gardens with its large, cream-white blooms edged in refined pink. Bred from the famous bush ‘Princesse de Monaco’, it offers generous coverage on walls, arches and trellises, creating a vertical focal point without demanding complex care. Own-root plants settle steadily, building a long-lived, reliable structure that responds well to simple pruning and light training, even in small family gardens. Over time it forms dense, glossy foliage that stays attractive between flushes, while repeat flowering keeps colour coming through summer. In the first year it concentrates on rooting, the second brings stronger shoots, and by the third it reveals its full ornamental value. It copes well with exposed spots where good air movement and drainage help it handle coastal wind and rain conditions.

Target area
Reasoning
Front-garden wall by the street
Ideal for turning a plain brick or rendered wall into a sophisticated backdrop of large, cream-white and pink blooms that read well from the pavement, yet stay tidy and controlled. Its climbing habit lets you keep ground space free for paving or low perennials, suiting small urban plots and busy householders seeking classic kerb appeal for beginners.
House wall or garage with trellis
Trains easily on simple trellis or wires, giving broad coverage without needing elaborate structures. Own-root growth thickens gradually, creating a durable framework that withstands pruning adjustments over the years. This makes it a dependable long-term choice for softening hard façades for homeowners.
Arch or arbour at a garden entrance
The long, flexible canes are well suited to being guided over a metal or wooden arch, where the large, double blooms frame paths and gateways. Repeat flowering ensures the feature remains showy across summer, with the dark green foliage keeping the structure attractive between flushes for style-conscious.
Pergola posts and walkways
Planting at the base of pergola posts allows the rose to climb upwards and then be tied along beams, giving a soft ceiling of colour without overwhelming narrow walkways. The medium maintenance level mainly involves tying in new growth and occasional deadheading, manageable even with limited time for busy-gardeners.
Small cottage-style mixed border
Works beautifully as a vertical accent behind perennials such as Phlox, Salvia or Echinops, echoing traditional cottage-garden charm in a compact space. Its restrained fragrance keeps it unobtrusive near seating, while the flower form adds a refined, “old rose” look for cottage-lovers.
Freestanding pillar or obelisk
Canes can be spiralled around a pillar or tall obelisk to create an upright column of flowers where border depth is limited. Moderate self-cleaning means some spent blooms stay in place, but a light tidy now and then keeps the display immaculate for perfectionists.
Large container on patio or terrace
Suited to cultivation in a substantial 40–50 litre container with a sturdy support, making it possible to enjoy a climber where borders are scarce. Regular watering and feeding are straightforward tasks, providing a manageable way to create height and privacy on paved spaces for balcony-owners.
Exposed but well-drained side passage
Where wind channels between houses, this variety can be tied securely along fences or walls; good drainage and airflow help it cope with persistent British rain and gusts. Its hardiness and own-root stamina encourage a stable, lasting presence for practical-gardeners.
Styling ideas
Classic-entrance – Train along a low front wall and simple trellis by the gate, underplant with lavender and catmint to echo the cream-and-pink blooms – ideal for lovers of traditional British front gardens.
Cottage-arch – Cover a metal arch with this climber and flank the base with foxgloves and hardy geraniums for a soft, romantic tunnel – perfect for cottage-garden enthusiasts wanting vertical charm.
Pastel-pergola – Combine the rose on a pergola with white clematis and pale Salvia nemorosa to create a gentle, pastel-toned seating area – suited to those seeking a calm, elegant retreat.
Patio-screen – Grow in a 50 litre container with an obelisk to form a flowering privacy screen on terraces, pairing with potted herbs below – good for small-space gardeners needing height without beds.
Modern-contrast – Plant against dark fencing with Echinops and ornamental grasses to offset the refined blooms with strong structure and texture – attractive for design-led owners favouring clean lines.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Climbing large-flowered rose; registered as MEIbergamu, marketed as PRINCESSE DE MONACO® GPT in the MEILLAND® 'Classics' collection; ARS exhibition name Princesse de Monaco, Cl.
Origin and breeding
Natural sport of the bush rose ‘Princesse de Monaco’; bred by Meilland International, breeding work dated to 1985 in Australia; introduced by Meilland Richardier in France in 2014.
Growth and structural characteristics
Vigorous climbing habit reaching about 210–310 cm in height and 120–190 cm spread; moderately thorny with dense, glossy, dark green foliage; own-root plants build a stable, durable framework.
Flower morphology
Very large, double, cup-shaped blooms borne mainly singly; around 26–39 petals; remontant, with a strong second flush in season; flowers may need light deadheading as self-cleaning is only moderate.
Colour data and phenology
Cream-white base with pink to carmine edging; ARS code w; RHS 155C outer, 60C inner; colour lightens slightly in strong sun with some fading of pink margins; remains decorative through successive flushes.
Fragrance and aroma
Fragrance is very weak and barely noticeable, with a fresh, light character close up; primarily grown for visual impact rather than scent, which helps keep it understated near windows and seating areas.
Hip characteristics
Rose hip set is typically sparse due to the double flower form; where present, hips are ellipsoidal, about 10–14 mm in diameter, and develop an orange-red colour that offers a modest late-season accent.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Rated to around -34 to -32 °C (USDA 4a, RHS H7, Swedish zone 5); disease resistance is moderate to common fungal problems; benefits from basic protection and regular watering during prolonged dry spells.
Horticultural recommendations
Best trained on walls, fences, pergolas, arbours or pillars; prefers a sunny, well-drained site; allow 140–250 cm spacing; prune to maintain framework and airflow; occasional plant protection may be required.
PRINCESSE DE MONACO® GPT offers refined two-tone blooms, reliable repeat flowering and adaptable climbing coverage on a long-lived own-root framework, making it a considered choice for those planning a lasting garden feature.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
PRINCESSE DE MONACO® GPT – cream-white-pink climbing rose - Meilland
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Pollinator Attraction:
Its fully double flower form (unlike simple or semi-double types) and the reduced accessibility of the stamens mean it attracts pollinators poorly.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double blooms attract few pollinators, so its pollinator-friendliness is limited; it is primarily an ornamental variety.

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.
