Mainz Carnival at a glance
Step into the rich history of the Mainzer Fastnacht®, a rose that has captured hearts for generations in Dutch ornamental horticulture. This large-flowered hybrid tea rose, with its unique lilac-purple hue and lush, classically shaped blooms, is a living work of art. Its exceptionally strong, nostalgic rose fragrance envelops your garden in an enchanting atmosphere even before you see the flower. The name, inspired by the lively carnival of Mainz, embodies tradition, character, and an explosion of color – exactly what this iconic rose offers.
Once the pride of millions of cut roses from Aalsmeer, it now returns as a powerful garden rose for the modern garden lover. Mainzer Fastnacht® grows vigorously and upright, making it ideal for borders, rose beds, as a solitary eye-catcher, or even in large pots on your balcony or terrace. Its repeated blooming from April well into October provides a continuous spectacle of color and fragrance. Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage the plant to produce a rich and long-lasting bloom.
At Belle Époque Rose Nursery, we proudly bring this legendary rose back to Aalsmeer, its original home. With over 40 years of family experience in rose cultivation, we guarantee you a top-quality Mainzer Fastnacht® directly from our nursery. Our expertise and sustainable cultivation methods ensure you receive a healthy, strong plant ready to enrich your garden with its unparalleled beauty and story. Choose a piece of Aalsmeer rose history, grown with passion and expertise.
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.
