Meilland landscape classic with well-earned awards and legendary low-maintenance nature:
Where to plant. In groups and hedges, on verges and slopes, and in landscape schemes where a long, profuse mass of colour is needed without demanding care.
Climate. USDA 5b–9b; in zone 5 winter protection is advisable. In Ukraine it is worth giving light winter protection in the north; it overwinters well everywhere else.
Care. Undemanding, needs almost no disease treatment; loves full sun; black spot is possible on overly wet soil.
Name. 'La Sevillana' (meaning 'the woman from Seville') — the name points to Spanish colour and temperament.
Breeding. Bred by Marie-Louise (Louisette) Meilland (France) around 1978, breeding code MEIgekanu.
Significance. An undemanding bright red landscape rose, ADR-marked, which gained fame for its legendary health and profuse flowering; it has a well-known pink sport, Pink La Sevillana.
In flushes, very profuse, from spring until the hard frosts.
100–150 cm tall, about 150 cm wide.
Full sun; fading in sun — no data.
Faint, in places almost no scent.
