Rosa 'Abbaye de Cluny'

Rosa 'Abbaye de Cluny' (aka MEIbrinpay) is an apricot blend hybrid tea rose, bred by Alain Meilland before 1993.

[6] After World War I, Antoine and Claudia bought property in Tassin-la-Demi-Lune, near Lyon and started a new nursery.

His legendary 'Peace' rose, brought the family international attention and great commercial success when it was introduced after World War II.

After Francis's early death in 1958, Louisette continued to breed roses, introducing many awarding winning new varieties.

Francis and Louisette's children, Alain and Michele, are both successful rose breeders and continue to manage the company.

Meilland developed the cultivar by crossing hybrid teas, ('Louis de Funès' x 'Sun King') x'Just Joey'.
