Japanese rose Tsumugi (Wabara) at a glance
The Rosa Tsumugi™, exclusive to Belle Epoque, is a remarkable sight from the Japanese Wabara collection, developed by the renowned growers Keiji and Kenichi Kunieda. Available for the first time as a 2-year-old plant in Europe, this rose offers a unique opportunity for rose enthusiasts who wish to add something rare and refined to their garden.
The name Tsumugi means "graceful turning" and refers to the way the petals unfold. The large, bowl-shaped flowers are richly filled with about 120 petals and display a subtle color transition: an intense light pink heart that slowly fades to a soft, pale pink shade along the edges.
The delicate scent combines classic rose notes with a light hint of lavender, giving this rose an extra dimension to your garden experience. With an expected size of 80–120 cm tall and compact growth, Tsumugi™ is suitable for borders, as a solitary plant in the garden, or even in a generous pot.
Because Tsumugi™ is still new in Europe, its growth habit and color depth may vary depending on the climate. This makes it not only a pioneer rose but also a true collector’s item.
At Belle Epoque, we supply this rose directly from our nursery. Feel free to share your experiences and photos: together we will discover how this Japanese beauty develops in European 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.
"Beautiful climbing rose, bloomed abundantly in the very first year! Well packaged and exactly what I expected based on the description. Belle Époque truly delivers top quality."
"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."
"Amazing quality & service. I ordered two New Dawns and they are developing beautifully in the garden. Fast shipping from Aalsmeer to Belgium — would absolutely order again."
