The Beirut Rose ('Meideauri'), also known by its French name Rose de Beyrouth, was developed by the French rose producer, Meilland International SA, and unveiled at the ninth Garden Show & Spring Festival, which is held annually at the Beirut Hippodrome in Lebanon. [1]
According to Meilland, the Beirut Rose, a "romantic-looking" bloom, was developed "in tribute to the resilience" of the city of Beirut, and its six-month blooming season symbolizes the "tenacious nature" of Lebanon's capital, which "has resurged from conflict and tragedy time and again". [2]
The pink rose will be planted in the garden of Martyr's Square in Beirut and throughout Lebanon. [3]
The rose is available worldwide in Meilland's catalogue and at the nursery of its agent in Lebanon, Robinson Agri.
