These roses were created by the House of Meidiland in France and are sometimes sold as "flowering shrubs" rather than "roses" by companies in this country. They are easy to grow, hardy, relatively disease resistant (though canker is a problem), tolerant of heat, and not bothered excessively by Japanese beetles. They are considered low-maintenance roses. They grow 1½ to 5 feet tall and are good plants for massing or hedges. Many of the cultivars of Meidiland roses are very vigorous and require annual pruning; frequently in winter they are cut back to a size of 18-24 inches by 18-24 inches.
