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.
