The King's rose (Aus27a16) (NEW 2025)

Discover in 2025 the unparalleled beauty of 'The King's Rose' (Aus27a16), a majestic David Austin creation that will transform your garden. This rose, a royal tribute to King Charles III, blooms with semi-double, softly open flowers that resemble hand-painted watercolors, each unique with playful stripes in fuchsia and soft cream white, inspired by classic Gallica roses. The refined, fresh scent of light musk tones, blended with hints of apple juice and rosewater, enchants the senses. 'The King's Rose' grows healthy and elegant in a vase shape, boasting striking heart-shaped leaves and, in winter, graceful warm orange rose hips that also provide a welcome food source for birds. Its rich bloom and natural appearance attract bees and butterflies, making it not only a feast for the eyes but also a valuable ecological asset for your outdoor space.

With its stately growth and lush bloom, 'The King's Rose' is an excellent choice for various garden applications. Plant it as a solitary eye-catcher to fully showcase its royal allure, or create a spectacular effect by grouping 3 to 5 roses in borders and mixed plantings. It also feels at home in a romantic cottage garden, where its unique color palette and natural charm blend effortlessly into the surroundings. This rose promises an unforgettable addition to any garden, offering months of enjoyment with its repeat-flowering character.

Roses in pots

A potted rose is a rose plant that has already been grown in a pot and is delivered with a well-developed root system. These roses are ready to be planted directly in the garden or in a larger pot, without having to wait for root growth. This makes the potted rose ideal for planting throughout the year, especially from May through October.

Roses with bare roots

Bare-root roses – also called root roses – are rose plants delivered without a pot or soil. These roses are dormant and can be planted directly in open ground. The best time to plant a root rose is in autumn or early spring, when the soil is still moist and the temperature mild.

At Belle Epoque we supply bare-root roses from November through April. Thanks to the well-developed root system and the right planting conditions, these roses grow vigorously into healthy and bloom-rich bushes or climbing roses.

Products are shipped directly from the nursery every Monday and Wednesday. By delivering only twice a week, we reduce logistical emissions and optimise our processes. This benefits both the quality of our products and the climate.
