Urban Roses – Green joy in the city

Urban Roses are roses that effortlessly adapt to city life.
They have a compact growth, good disease resistance and bloom for a long time – even in pots or on sunny balconies.
Perfect for those who love greenery and atmosphere but have little space.

At Belle Epoque we select roses that not only bloom beautifully but are also grown sustainably – directly from the grower in Aalsmeer.

1. Compact roses for pots and balconies

Compact roses bring colour and character to small spaces. They require little care but provide flowers for months – ideal for terraces and balconies.

Recommendations from Belle Epoque:

• Sirius – soft apricot-coloured with a fresh look and rich flowering.
• Aprikola – lively apricot shades, strong and weather-resistant.
• Aspirin Rose – elegant white with a light pink glow; healthy and richly blooming.
• Lavender Dream – cloud of lilac flowers, airy and graceful.
• Queen of Sweden – romantic, upright-growing English rose with a soft salmon-pink tint.

💡 Tip: use spacious pots with airy rose soil and ensure good drainage. This way your roses stay healthy and strong for years.

2. Climbing roses for walls and city gardens

Even without a large garden, you can grow upwards. Climbing roses and rambling roses bring vertical colour and scent to walls, fences or balconies.

Recommendations from the Belle Epoque collection:

• Jasmina – fragrant clusters of soft pink flowers, richly blooming and elegant.
• Guirlande d’Amour – white, filled flowers and a delightfully light scent.
• Rambling Rosie – compact rambler with lively red-pink shade, ideal for smaller spaces.
• Guirlande Rose – fresh pink bloom with a natural look.
• Perennial Blue – violet-blue with charm and long blooming period.
• Paragon (Growth & Bloom) – strong growth, modern look, long-lasting bloom.
• Ghislaine de Féligonde – soft apricot-coloured, repeat blooming and romantic.
• New Dawn – the timeless classic: soft pink, fragrant and very hardy.
• Westerland – warm copper-orange shades with a spicy scent, strong and reliable.
• James Galway – soft pink, healthy leaves and strong repeat blooming; can be used as a shrub or climbing rose.

Tie the branches fan-shaped against a trellis or wall – this way the rose blooms along the entire length.

3. Fragrant roses

Scent turns any balcony or terrace into an oasis of calm. The fragrant roses from Belle Epoque combine classic charm with modern strength.

Recommendations:

• Prince Jardinier – luxurious, soft pink with a refined perfume-like scent.
• Claire Austin – creamy white with a hint of vanilla, elegant and strong.
• Desdemona – creamy white with apricot accents and a soft citrus scent.
• Gertrude Jekyll – intense pink, classically filled and famous for its rich scent.

Place fragrant roses close to seating areas or windows so you can fully enjoy their scent.

4. Organic and edible roses

For those who want to combine greenery and flavour, Belle Epoque offers a unique selection of edible roses.
These roses are not only beautiful but also tasty.

Recommendations:

• Nadia Zerouali – intense in colour, ideal for desserts or rose tea.
• Eveline Wild – subtly scented with soft pink petals.

A touch of culinary elegance, straight from your city garden.
