Port Sunlight (Auslofty)

The Rosa ‘Port Sunlight’ standard rose (90 cm) is a stunning creation by David Austin, beloved for its large, rosette-shaped flowers and its warm apricot-peach color. The flowers, up to 9 cm wide, are richly filled with countless petals that are lightly quartered – a classic feature of the finest English roses.

During blooming, the color subtly changes from deep apricot to a soft peach shade, creating a lively and natural play of colors. The strong Tea Rose fragrance makes this standard rose not only visually impressive but also a delight for the senses.

Roses in a pot

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 in the garden or in a larger pot, without having to wait for roots to develop. This makes the potted rose ideal for year-round planting, especially May to October.

Bare root roses

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

At Belle Epoque we supply bare root roses from November to AprilThanks to the well-developed root system and the right planting conditions, these roses grow vigorously into healthy and floriferous shrubs or climbing roses.
