Shrub Rose 'Pink Meidiland': Meidiland's 1983 Groundcover Queen

Introduced in 1983 by Meidiland, 'Pink Meidiland' (also known as MEIpoque, Rose Meillandecor, Schloss Heidegg) is a groundcover rose that carpets the earth in pink. Part of the Meillandecor® line, it was bred for public plantings—highways, parks, municipal beds—where it delivers months of bloom with zero maintenance.

Botanical Profile

The flowers are semi-double, a clear bright pink, produced in enormous clusters that cover the low, spreading plant. The habit is prostrate—1-2 feet tall, 4-6 feet wide. The foliage is small, dark green, glossy, and virtually disease-immune. Meidiland roses are the workhorses of European landscaping. 'Pink Meidiland' brings that municipal toughness to the home garden: plant it on a slope, along a drive, at the front of a border. It asks nothing—no spray, no pruning, no winter cover—and gives a pink carpet from May to November. A queen of the groundcovers.
