Edible rose - Theo Clevers at a glance
The Rosa ‘Theo Clevers’ is more than a rose; it is a culinary gem and a feast for the eyes. This unique shrub rose, named after the iconic ice cream maker Theo Clevers, enchants with its large, semi-double flowers in a radiant pink. Each flower, rich with as many as 138 petals, emits an intensely sweet fragrance, enriched with a distinct subtle strawberry aroma. A true treat for the senses, captivating both the garden and the kitchen.
From May well into October, the 'Theo Clevers' continuously adorns itself with clusters about 7 cm in diameter. It thrives excellently as a focal point in borders, as ground cover, or in large pots on balconies and terraces. Its natural resilience makes it highly suitable for organic cultivation, while its appeal to bees and butterflies contributes to vibrant biodiversity in your garden. And with its edible petals, it opens up a world of culinary possibilities: from homemade rose jam and syrup to a colorful and fragrant addition to salads and desserts.
At Belle Époque Rose Nursery, a family business with over 40 years of experience in Aalsmeer, you buy the Rosa ‘Theo Clevers’ directly from the grower. This guarantees not only a top-quality rose with unparalleled vitality but also the assurance of sustainable cultivation and expertise passed down through generations. Choose the 'Theo Clevers' and enrich your outdoor space with a special, fragrant, and edible rose lovingly cultivated.
