Charles de Gaulle is a characterful large-flowered shrub rose that immediately stands out due to its special purple shade and powerful fragrance. This variety blooms abundantly from May well into October, filling your garden with color and scent for months.
The flowers have a diameter of about 12 cm and appear on a sturdy, well-branched shrub approximately 85 cm high and 50 cm wide. The fresh and spicy scent reminiscent of verbena makes this rose a favorite for both garden and vase.
This rose prefers a sunny spot and grows well in any well-drained soil, including calcareous soils. Plant in groups for a strong color accent, or combine with white and yellow roses for a stylish contrast. Thanks to its excellent disease resistance and winter hardiness down to -15°C, Charles de Gaulle is easy to maintain.

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.
