BARONNE E. DE ROTHSCHILD – pink hybrid tea rose – Meilland
Imagine afternoon tea under a leafy arbour as large, perfectly formed blooms of Baronne E. de Rothschild open in rich, two‑tone colour, their fragrance drifting across the garden. This classic hybrid tea combines award‑winning beauty with a practical, upright habit that slips easily into family borders and cottage‑style planting. Its very strong damask scent and repeat flowering make every flush feel like a special occasion, while own‑root vitality means the shrub keeps its character year after year, regenerating reliably from the base. In typical British gardens with clay soils and brisk winds, it rewards simple care and thoughtful watering, settling in as a long‑term feature rather than a short‑lived novelty. Over the first three seasons it develops from establishing roots to building confident shoots and finally delivering its full ornamental display, making the most of both sunny patios and traditional rose borders for relaxed cottage‑garden charm.

Target area
Reasoning
Main cottage‑style rose border
The upright, medium‑tall structure and large, double blooms create a strong vertical accent that slots naturally into mixed cottage borders without overwhelming nearby perennials. Repeat flowering keeps colour moving through summer, while own‑root vigour supports long‑term shape and regrowth after harder pruning if needed, making it a dependable focal plant for those who like traditional structure but want straightforward care for the family gardener.
Feature rose near seating or terrace
Its very strong, classic damask scent is most appreciated close to where you sit, so planting one or two near a bench, terrace or arbour lets you enjoy the perfume on warm evenings. The XL blooms and high‑centred form look refined in smaller spaces, with moderate maintenance and own‑root resilience offering years of performance without replanting, which particularly suits smaller, time‑pressed gardens tended by the busy homeowner.
Cutting patch or kitchen‑garden edge
Baronne E. de Rothschild was bred as a hybrid tea with exhibition‑grade form, so stems carry large, goblet‑shaped flowers well suited to vases and indoor arrangements. Repeat flushes ensure a steady supply for cutting, while the plant’s capacity to rebuild from its own roots helps it cope with regular stem harvesting, offering reliable, scented stems season after season for the home flower‑arranger.
Specimen rose in lawn or gravel
Planted alone with space around it, the uniform, upright habit and glossy dark foliage frame the two‑tone blooms so their magenta and silvery tones read clearly from a distance. Own‑root longevity means the shrub matures into a durable garden ‘character’ rather than a temporary accent, ideal for those who prefer one or two statement roses rather than complex layouts, especially the traditionalist buyer.
Small family front garden
Its contained spread and moderate height suit narrow front borders where space is limited but impact matters. The tidy outline and glossy foliage keep the approach smart between flowering flushes, while repeat blooms and good colour retention maintain kerb appeal with little intervention beyond occasional deadheading and seasonal feeding, giving reassuring results for the new gardener.
Roses in heavier or chalky soils
Once established, the own‑root system anchors firmly and makes good use of improved planting pockets, helping it cope with typical British clay or chalk where drainage has been enhanced. Regular but not excessive watering supports growth in drier spells, while moderate disease resistance offers steady performance without intensive spraying, fitting well with gardeners seeking resilient planting in challenging ground who still value a refined rose, notably the practical planner.
Coastal or more exposed positions
In sites with brisk breezes, its upright but robust framework and dense foliage help the plant hold its shape, while the firm petals and good colour retention reduce weather‑spoiling of the blooms, coping well with blustery, salt‑tinged air and showery days. Own‑root growth allows it to recover if top growth is checked, making it a sound option where you want romance without fuss, especially for the coastal gardener.
Large containers and terrace planters
Its neat footprint, glossy leaves and repeated, scented flowering make it well suited to a single‑rose statement in a generous container of at least 40–50 litres. The substantial volume buffers roots from drying out between waterings in dry spells, supporting even growth and steady blooming with simple feeding, while the own‑root constitution provides longer container life and easier rejuvenation pruning, an attractive choice for the patio enthusiast.
Styling ideas
Arbour‑side elegance – Train Baronne E. de Rothschild on short supports beside an arbour, underplant with lavender and low nepeta for a scented tea‑time corner – ideal for scent‑loving romantics.
Classic cutting row – Line a sunny kitchen‑garden path with evenly spaced plants, backed by espaliered fruit and interplanted with dahlias to create a productive, elegant cutting strip – perfect for home florists.
Front‑garden welcome – Pair one or two shrubs with box balls and soft pink geraniums along the front path to give a polished, traditional welcome – suited to neat but time‑poor homeowners.
Coastal cottage mix – Combine with hardy grasses, pink gaura and sea‑thrift in improved soil to soften windy plots while keeping a romantic feel – good for gardeners near breezy shores.
Patio focal pot – Plant a single rose in a 50‑litre terracotta container with trailing thyme and soft violas at the rim for a compact yet luxurious terrace feature – ideal for balcony and courtyard gardeners.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose, registered as MEIgriso, marketed as Baronne E. de Rothschild / Baronne Edmond de Rothschild; ARS exhibition name recognised for show and cut‑flower use.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Marie‑Louise Paolino Meilland, Meilland International, France, from (Baccará × Crimson King) × Peace; bred 1968, registered 1968, introduced to commerce from 1969 onwards.
Awards and recognition
Highly decorated: multiple 1968 medals including gold at Rome, Le Roeulx and Lyon, fragrance cup at Le Roeulx, silver awards at Geneva, Courtrai and Valbypark for ornamental and scented quality.
Growth and structural characteristics
Upright hybrid tea shrub reaching about 95–125 cm high and 70–90 cm wide, with dense, dark bronze‑green, glossy foliage and moderate prickles; self‑cleaning is partial so spent blooms may need removing.
Flower morphology
Very large, double, high‑centred blooms with 26–39 petals, typically borne in small clusters; classic cup to goblet hybrid tea form, remontant with abundant second flush under suitable garden conditions.
Colour data and phenology
Deep pink to crimson inner petals contrast with silvery‑white reverses; ARS RB, RHS 155D outer and 60A inner; colour holds well, softening to pink in strong sun and deepening in cooler weather.
Fragrance and aroma
Very strong, garden‑filling scent with a classic damask character; best appreciated near paths or seating; double blooms limit pollen access so value is primarily ornamental rather than pollinator focused.
Hip characteristics
Rose‑hips form only sparsely because double blooms and deadheading remove most spent flowers; any hips are small, spherical, about 8–12 mm across, colouring red for modest late‑season interest.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to around −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3); resistant to powdery mildew and black spot, moderate against rust; tolerates heat if watered regularly in prolonged dry spells.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with improved, well‑drained soil; spacing 50–90 cm depending on use, 3.2–3.7 plants/m² for massing; medium maintenance, occasional protection helpful; ideal as border, specimen or cut rose.
Baronne E. de Rothschild offers sumptuous, strongly scented blooms, dependable repeat flowering and long‑term own‑root resilience for classic cottage gardens and terraces, making it a thoughtful choice if you favour lasting, romantic structure and perfume.

Pollinator Attraction:
Its strongly double, high-centred blooms offer limited stamen accessibility, which reduces their attractiveness to pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double, high-centred blooms are poorly accessible to pollinators, so its pollinator-friendliness is limited and it is mainly ornamental.
Hip Comment:
Rose-hip formation is expected to be minimal due to the removal of double flowers and spent blooms; if formed, the hips are spherical, 8–12 mm in diameter and red.

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.
