‘Bettina’/MEpal =Hybride de Thé. Parmi les superbes roses lancées par Francis Meilland dans l’Europe de l’après-guerre, l’une des plus admirées fut sans doute ‘Bettina’. Son coloris rare continue de fasciner… bouton rouge cuivré… crème et pêche orangé, richement veinée de vermillon. Par temps frais, un orangé intense remplace le fond pêche et crème… excellente fleur à couper… végétation irrégulière… se défend mal de l’oïdium et du marsonia. Son feuillage vert sombre et luisant, teinté de rouge au printemps, reste chiche. Meilland France 1953.

David Ruston, South Australia. Roses of Distinction. 
'Bettina' is another wonderful rose. Not only does it produce a wealth of flowers but each one is beautifully shaped at all stages from bud to full bloom. The rather soft coppery-orange of the flowers is enhanced by the heavy veining of the outer petals. This rose is often the most admired variety when people are looking at the rose patch. 'Bettina' is the ideal rose for bedding and can be picked out easily in any group of roses.

Alex Ross, South Australia.  Our Twelve Best Sellers.
Bettina has taken a long time to establish itself as a favourite, but during the last couple of seasons it has gone ahead to such an extent that it is now included in our first dozen. Of an orange bronze shade, it seems to glory in the hot weather. Its main fault seems to lie in its short but sturdy growth and it needs to be well grown to give long stems for cutting.
