We hear over and over from other gardeners how disappointed they are with the results of their roses. Growing roses successfully can be a challenge as many of the modern roses demand extra attention and it seems that every bug and disease known adore roses as much as the gardener.  Landscape Roses on the other hand are almost fool proof.  The Meidiland Series (pronounced may-de' land) that we grow here at Gorge Top Gardens is an excellent variety of Landscape Rose. These wonderful plants have taken the famous rose breeders Meilland of France years to develop.   Their efforts have rewarded gardeners with a rose that is nearly perfect!   Meidiland Landscape roses are vigorous, disease resistant, fast growing and will tolerate growing conditions other roses would never survive.  They need little to no attention from the gardener other than occasional feeding and light pruning.  The Meidiland series are very heavy bloomers - they begin blooming in early summer and continue right up until the first hard freeze.  Landscapers are very fond of the Meidiland Rose and often plant them in masses for wonderful displays of color.
