Princess Aiko™ – Exclusive Japanese rose, now for the first time in Europe!
The Princess Aiko™, also known as Beloved, is a unique Japanese garden rose originally bred for the Empress of Japan. Belle Epoque is proud to offer this rare rose exclusively as a 2-year-old plant in Europe.
The flowers open in a refined play of colors of bright peach with soft shades of cream and light pink. Thanks to the globe-shaped flower structure with no fewer than 120 petals, Princess Aiko™ retains its elegant form for up to 80% of the bloom. The glossy, dark green leaves form a beautiful contrast with the flowers and enhance its luxurious appearance.
With a height between 80 and 140 cm, this is a compact but strong shrub rose that is excellent for borders, solitary use, or in stylish combinations with other Japanese roses. Because the Princess Aiko™ is still new in Europe, 2025/2026 will be the first year in which enthusiasts can discover its growth dynamics in our climate.
Belle Epoque offers only 40 plants, making this introduction a unique opportunity for collectors and garden lovers who want something special.
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."
