Full description:
Polka is one of those climbing roses that immediately attracts attention without feeling excessive. Its large, double blooms open in warm peach shades with subtle variations of apricot and soft cream, creating an effect that feels luminous, elegant and unmistakably romantic. Each flower is generously formed with more than 20 petals arranged in a softly ruffled shape.
The fragrance is one of Polka’s defining qualities. Rich and expressive, with the classic character of old roses, it is easy to notice near terraces, seating areas and garden paths. Combined with repeated flowering throughout the season, this creates a rose that invites you to return and experience it again and again.
This is one of those roses we would choose for a place where it can truly be seen. Polka has a remarkable way of adding softness and quiet luxury to the garden: an arch feels more welcoming, a pergola becomes more elegant and a simple wall turns into a decorative backdrop.
You can feel the signature of the house of Meilland here: a variety created to balance visual beauty, generous flowering and garden performance. Reaching approximately 250–300 cm at maturity, Polka offers enough vigour to create impact while maintaining an elegant, flowing habit.
