MICHELANGELO® – yellow hybrid tea rose – Meilland
Step outside to soft raindrops and discover MICHELANGELO®, a richly scented, golden hybrid tea that brings calm contentment to even the smallest Irish cottage or terraced front garden. Its large, romantic blooms and strong, lemony-honey fragrance offer classic beauty with reassuringly simple care, even where summers are cool and wet with constant disease pressure. Planted as an own-root rose in a well-drained bed or 40–50 litre container, it settles in steadily and is bred for a long, reliable garden lifespan. You can look forward to a natural rhythm – roots establishing in year one, stronger shoots and shape in year two, and full display and ornamental value from year three onwards – giving you timeless blooms without complicated routines, ideal for a relaxed, “girly” cottage-garden mood.

Target area
Reasoning
Front garden statement rose by the door
Upright, 110–150 cm growth with XL, cupped blooms makes a striking but manageable focal point beside a path or doorway, giving classic structure without needing specialist pruning skills, ideal for the time-conscious beginner.
Romantic cottage-style flower bed
Very double, warm yellow flowers repeat through the season, giving that nostalgic cottage look with medium maintenance; own-root plants bush out evenly over time for a full, long-lived display, suiting the relaxed homeowner.
Cutting patch for fragrant bouquets
Solitary, long-stemmed hybrid tea blooms with a strong, lemony-honey scent are perfect for vases, so one bush can supply armfuls of classic roses for the house across summer, delighting the creative hobby-gardener.
Feature rose in 40–50 litre terrace container
In a large, well-drained pot, its upright habit and dense foliage keep a tidy shape; own-root plants regenerate well if cut back after winter, giving durable value for the space-limited urban gardener.
Small informal rose hedge
At 55 cm spacing it forms a softly upright, fragrant boundary; repeat flowering keeps colour along a path or drive, while own-root growth ensures gaps fill again if stems are lost, reassuring the practical planner.
Mixed bed with perennials
Dense, dark green foliage and buttery-yellow blooms combine beautifully with salvias or euphorbias; disease resistance supports simple, low-spray gardening even where rain and humidity are frequent, encouraging the nature-loving buyer.
Family garden focal point
Large, showy flowers and rich scent appeal across generations, while moderate maintenance means seasonal deadheading and feeding are usually enough for reliable flowering, suiting the busy family householder.
Sheltered, sunny city front garden
Thrives in a bright, well-ventilated spot; in enclosed, damp courtyards you may need some protection, but the robust root system and repeat flowering give dependable returns for the urban-frontage owner.
Styling ideas
Cottage-Romantic – Mix MICHELANGELO® with soft pink perennials and airy grasses for a feminine, storybook border – ideal for lovers of relaxed, “girly” Irish cottage gardens.
Golden-Accent – Plant a single specimen near a sage-green front door or railings to highlight its warm yellow blooms – perfect for city terrace owners seeking simple impact.
Scented-Path – Line a short path with a loose row at hedge spacing for repeated fragrance as you pass – suited to families who enjoy evening strolls in the garden.
Classic-Cut – Dedicate a sunny corner bed to three plants for a constant supply of long-stemmed, fragrant blooms – a delight for home florists and bouquet enthusiasts.
Pot-Showpiece – Grow one plant in a 40–50 litre container with trailing herbs at the base for a neat yet romantic display – great for balconies and compact front yards.
Technical cultivar profile
Characteristic
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose, registered as MEItelov; traded as Michelangelo® Romantica® MEItelov, in the Romantica® collection; exhibition name Michelangelo®, premium silver merit rating.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Alain Meilland, Meilland International SA, France, from (‘Meidragelac’ × ‘Meikinosi’) × ‘Korbelma’; bred 1997, registered 1997, introduced commercially in 1998.
Awards and recognition
Monza Gold Medal 1997; Bagatelle (Paris) Certificate 1997; Orléans Rose de Cristal 2000; The Hague Fragrance Award and Certificate 2001, underscoring ornamental and scent quality.
Growth and structural characteristics
Upright habit, 110–150 cm high, 75–105 cm spread; dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage, moderately thorny stems; weak self-cleaning, so regular deadheading maintains appearance and repeat bloom.
Flower morphology
Very double, XL blooms over 10 cm, cupped with a medium-high centre, borne mainly singly on stems; remontant with a generous second flush and further flowers under good care.
Colour data and phenology
Uniform bright lemon-yellow with a delicate golden tone; outer petals RHS 11A, inner 12A; colour lightens in strong sun to creamy, buttery yellow, with creamy tones as blooms mature.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong, well-defined perfume with a rich, lemony-honey character; flowers are primarily ornamental, with highly double form that limits pollen access and gives a lush, full appearance.
Hip characteristics
Occasional small, bottle-shaped hips, 10–14 mm, greyish-orange RHS 168B; not a heavy hip producer, so the main decorative interest remains the succession of large flowers.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3); resistant to powdery mildew and rust, moderate against black spot; prefers regular watering during prolonged heat or drought.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny, well-ventilated positions with good drainage; spacing 65 cm for beds, 55 cm for hedging, 100 cm as specimen; 2.5–2.9 plants/m²; medium maintenance with some plant protection in enclosed courtyards.
MICHELANGELO® offers large, scented yellow blooms, reliable repeat flowering and long-lived own-root resilience, making it a graceful choice for those planning a lasting, easy-care rose planting.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
