Princess Hitomi™ – exclusive Japanese rose with cotton-pink bloom
The Princess Hitomi™, also known as Beautiful History, is one of the newest exclusive roses that Belle Epoque brings to Europe. Originally bred in Japan and awarded the SAF Blue Ribbon Award, it is now available as a 2-year-old plant for the enthusiast who wants something unique in their garden.
The flowers open in a pure cotton-pink shade, with a flower structure that is both refined and special: the inner petals form four hearts, while the outer petals gracefully curl into a star shape. This quartered rose can reach an impressive flower diameter of up to 13 cm, made up of about 85 petals.
The subtle lavender scent (3/5) gives the rose extra charm, making it leave an elegant impression not only in the garden but also as a cut flower. Because this variety has only recently been cultivated in Europe, all growth details are still developing – a chance for true pioneers to help shape this beauty in our gardens.

Forty years of nothing but roses
Belle Époque is a family business, not a wholesaler. From our greenhouses in Aalsmeer, we have been growing only roses for over four decades — and every plant we send out is personally selected by us. This way, you receive not a catalog rose, but a plant ready to grow.
Positieve eerste indruk
Ik heb deze roos nog niet zo heel erg lang in mijn tuin staan dus het is nog niet mogelijk om een uitgebreide review te geven, maar mijn eerste indruk is positief.
De roos was goed verpakt en zag er gezond uit. Na het planten in mijn tuin deed ze het ook meteen vrij goed, heb niet echt een transplant shock gemerkt. Ik heb miccorhizal fungus gebruikt bij het aanplanten en de roos heeft de eerste week veel regen gehad.
Ondertussen staat er een eerste roos in bloei en die ziet er al erg mooi uit. Ik kijk er al naar uit hoe deze roos het gaat doen over een paar jaar.
