Registration name: MEIskimov

Bred by Meilland International (France, 2004).
Introduced in United States by Star Roses & Plants (Pennsylvania) in 2005.

Grandiflora, Hybrid Tea.  

Lavender. [Lilac.].  Strong, citrus, rose fragrance.  17 to 25 petals.  Average diameter 4.75".  Large, double (17-25 petals), in small clusters, high-centered bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, upright.  Semi-glossy, medium green foliage.  

Height: 4'11" to 6'1" (150 to 185cm).  

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for beds and borders, garden or landscape.  Disease susceptibility: very disease resistant.  Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  

More tolerant to disease than most other lavender roses on the market today.
