About Delicate Bess

Step into the enchanting world of the 'Dainty Bess', a characterful large-flowered tea rose that recalls the timeless elegance of yesteryear. This classic rose, selected before 1925, charms with its airy, open bloom. The delicate flowers, consisting of 5 to 6 soft pink petals with a subtle salmon-pink undertone, are beautifully contrasted by striking red-yellow stamens. Enjoy the mild, spicy fragrance reminiscent of the pristine beauty of wild roses, and let yourself be carried away to an atmosphere of calm and natural grace.

With a compact height and width of about 70 cm, the 'Dainty Bess' is an excellent choice for borders, flower beds, and even smaller gardens or pots. Its upright, branched growth habit and fresh green foliage provide a healthy appearance, while the rose blooms abundantly in several waves throughout the season. For a lush and full effect, we recommend three plants per square meter, transforming your garden into a soft pink dream.

At Belle Époque Rose Nursery in Aalsmeer, you buy the 'Dainty Bess' directly from the grower. With over 40 years of expertise and passion, we provide you with strong, healthy roses that have been carefully cultivated. Each specimen guarantees years of enjoyment and brings a touch of timeless beauty and color to your garden, straight from our family business to your home.

Care & Plants
Potted roses can be planted all year round, as long as the ground is not frozen. Dig a spacious planting hole, enrich the soil with compost, and plant the rose at the same depth as it was in the pot. Allow a planting distance of about 30-40 cm for a full effect and water generously immediately after planting.
Prune the 'Dainty Bess' in early spring (March/April) back to 3-5 buds above the ground. Completely remove dead, diseased, or weak branches. Cut off faded flowers throughout the season to encourage new blooms.
Give the 'Dainty Bess' regular water, especially during dry periods and after planting. Fertilize in early spring with a special rose fertilizer and repeat this after the first bloom. A mulch layer around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

"The rose is well packaged and looks beautiful. Fast delivery, and the personal advice via email was very valuable — I wasn’t sure where to plant it."
