Rosa 'Meioffic' | Johann Strauss Floribunda Rose
DESCRIPTION
Rosa ‘Meioffic’, commonly known as ‘Johann Strauss’, is a floribunda rose that displays abundant clusters of creamy pink blossoms subtly washed with yellow from late spring through autumn. Each bloom possesses a gentle apple‑lemon scent and sits atop glossy dark green foliage that maintains a clean and lustrous appearance as the season progresses. Its bushy, compact habit produces recurrent flowering with minimal pruning, offering a graceful presence in beds, borders, or containers.
Bred by Alain Meilland in France before 1993 and introduced commercially in 1994 under the Romantica™ series, ‘Meioffic’ was patented in the U.S. in 1997. This rose is celebrated for its reliable reblooming, disease resilience, and softly hued flowers that provide serene elegance throughout the growing season. The floribunda also adapts well to mixed plantings, enriching the landscape with consistent charm.
