Fragrance should be “strong” as confirmed by the fragrance prizes it has won over the years. Personally I find the fragrance strong, complex and pleasing.

Origin and Breeding Controlled Pollination between seed parent (‘Meicelna’ x ‘Meipobil’) and pollen parent ‘Meihelvet’ (syn. Sonia). The seed parent is a non commercial breeding line. The seed was sown, germinated and grown to maturity with ‘Meisionver’ being selected for, medium pink flower colour, plant habit and strong fragrance. Propagation: by conventional T- budding method, all plants were found to be uniform and stable over several generations. Breeder: Alain Meilland, Meilland International Le Cannet France.
