Breeder: Alain Meilland, Meilland International, Le Luc en Provence, France
'Meijocos' originated from hybridization work conducted by the breeder at Le Luc en Provence, France in June 1997 between the female parent 'Korimro' and the male parent, a proprietary unnamed seedling.

Inventors: Meilland; Alain A. (Antibes, FR)
The female parent (i.e., the seed parent) was the `Korimro` variety (non-patented in the United States). The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) of the new variety was an unnamed and unreleased seedling (non-patented in the United States).
