'MEIrecrom' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:

Carlton Rose Nursery says this rose is a light peach and apricot bi-color...
On their website, Meilland lists 'Puy du Fou' var. MEIrecrom (Selection Meilland 2001) - Orange tangerine.

EXOTICA’ (hybrid tea/ florist rose, Alain Meilland, 1997) (MEIrecrom) = ‘PONCHO ARGENTINO’, named this way in the "Argentine National Flower Festival" that took place in Escobar, in 2003 (organized by Telmo Hisaki); since the colours of this rose reminds the bright colours of our “poncho”, a very typical clothing widely used by our “gauchos”, designed to keep the body warm, especially in Northern Argentina.
