Compassion (XL Climbing Rose)

The perfect repeat-flowering rose with scent, color, and character

The Rosa ‘Compassion’, also known as ‘Belle de Londres’, is one of the most beloved repeat-flowering climbing roses ever bred. With its salmon-pink flowers with a warm apricot hue and its intensely intoxicating scent, this award-winning classic brings elegance and romance to any garden.

The large, fully double flowers – up to 10 cm in diameter and with more than 40 petals – appear abundantly from June to October. Their rich scent fills the air with summer sweetness, while the shiny dark green leaves form a beautiful contrast with the soft colors of the flower.

Thanks to its strong, upright growth and excellent disease resistance ‘Compassion’ is a reliable choice for every gardener. This versatile rose can be used both as a shrub rose and as a climbing rose – perfect for adorning a pergola, wall, or fence with scent and color.

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.
