Thomas A. Beckett (Auswinston)

The Thomas A. Beckett (Auswinston) is a masterpiece by David Austin, a rose that enchants the senses with its intensely deep red, velvety flowers and rich, classic rose fragrance. This lush shrub rose, with its deeply cupped, later rosette-shaped blooms, exudes a timeless elegance that enriches any garden. It is an ode to the power and beauty of nature, a delight to see and smell, from early summer well into autumn.

With its bushy and compact growth of about 1 to 1.5 meters tall, the Thomas A. Beckett is versatile. It shines beautifully as a solitary showpiece but also feels at home in borders, mixed plantings, or even in a large pot on your terrace. This rose combines aesthetics with resilience: it is robust, well resistant to various weather conditions, and surprisingly easy to maintain, making it an asset for both classic English gardens and modern designs.

Roses in pots

A potted rose is a rose plant that has already been grown in a pot and is delivered with a well-developed root system. These roses are ready to be planted directly in the garden or in a larger pot, without having to wait for root growth. This makes the potted rose ideal for planting throughout the year, especially from May through October.

Roses with bare roots

Bare-root roses – also called root roses – are rose plants delivered without a pot or soil. These roses are dormant and can be planted directly in open ground. The best time to plant a root rose is in autumn or early spring, when the soil is still moist and the temperature mild.

At Belle Epoque we supply bare-root roses from November through April. Thanks to the well-developed root system and the right planting conditions, these roses grow vigorously into healthy and bloom-rich bushes or climbing roses.

Products are shipped directly from the nursery every Monday and Wednesday. By delivering only twice a week, we reduce logistical emissions and optimise our processes. This benefits both the quality of our products and the climate.
