Urban Roses – de mooiste rozen voor stadstuin en balkon

Urban Roses – Green happiness in the city

Urban Roses are roses that effortlessly adapt to city life.
They have a compact growth, good disease resistance and bloom for a long time – even in pots or on sunny balconies.
Perfect for those who love greenery and atmosphere, but have little space.

Bee Belle Epoque we select roses that not only bloom beautifully, but are also sustainably grown – directly from the grower in Aalsmeer.

1. Compact roses for pots and balconies

Compact roses bring color and character to small spaces. They require little care but produce flowers for months – ideal for patios and balconies.

Belle Epoque recommendations:

  • Sirius – soft apricot colour with a fresh appearance and profuse flowering.
  • Apricot – vibrant apricot tones, strong and weather resistant.
  • Aspirin Rose – elegant white with a light pink glow; healthy and floriferous.
  • Lavender Dream – cloud of lilac flowers, airy and graceful.
  • Queen of Sweden – romantic, upright growing English rose with a soft salmon-pink hue.

💡 Tip: Use spacious pots with airy rose soil and ensure good drainage. This way, your roses will stay healthy and vigorous for years to come.


2. Climbing roses for walls and city gardens

Even without a large garden you can reach great heights. Climbing roses and rambler roses bring vertical colour and fragrance to walls, fences or balconies.

Recommendations from the Belle Epoque collection:
