{"product_id":"la-ville-de-bruxelles","title":"Queen Victoria","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLa Ville de Bruxelles is a rose for lovers of large, richly filled flowers and a distinctive fragrance. Its bright pink flowers open from a cup shape into a beautiful quartered bloom. Sometimes a small green button eye appears in the center: a special detail that enhances its classic appearance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis historic Damask rose was bred by the French rose breeder Jean-Pierre Vibert. David Austin lists 1849 as the year of introduction, while Lens Roses dates it to 1837. Both dates place it before the Belle Époque, in the rich tradition of nineteenth-century rose breeding. Its name means ‘the city of Brussels’.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLa Ville de Bruxelles retains the character for which old Damask roses are loved: generously filled flowers, a powerful fragrance, and one abundant summer bloom. Its fragrance is sweet and fruity. A spot beside a garden path or seating area makes it easy to enjoy during flowering.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe shrub grows vigorously and upright, with slightly arching branches and plenty of light green foliage. It looks beautiful as a standalone shrub or in a spacious, romantic border. For example, combine it with airy perennials that provide color even after it has finished flowering.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGive La Ville de Bruxelles fertile, well-drained soil and sufficient space. If necessary, prune immediately after flowering so that new branches can develop for the following flowering season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belle Epoque 2026","offers":[{"title":"Bare-root roses","offer_id":55240270905681,"sku":null,"price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Potted roses","offer_id":55240270938449,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/5908\/7056\/files\/LaVilledeBruxelles.jpg?v=1791569909","url":"https:\/\/belle-epoque.nl\/en-be\/products\/queen-victoria-1","provider":"Belle Epoque","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
