Roald Dahl (Ausowlich)

Be enchanted by the Roald Dahl® (Ausowlich), a rose that instantly brings a smile to your face. This charming English rose opens from warm orange-red buds into lush, medium-sized rosettes in a soft apricot shade. The color subtly changes with the bloom, constantly surprising your garden with vibrant hues. Its elegant, nostalgic flower shape is accompanied by a delicate, fruity tea fragrance – just enough to highlight its character without overpowering. Named after the master storyteller Roald Dahl, this rose embodies his spirit: playful, warm, and full of quirky character. It rightly won a silver medal and the Irwin Trophy in 2020 for its outstanding disease resistance.

The Roald Dahl® is a symbol of health and vitality. It grows into a bushy, nicely rounded shrub that stands perfectly alone in a border but also pairs beautifully with perennials or lavender. Thanks to its robust nature and proven reliability, it is an asset to any garden, even in spots with light shade or in a large pot. Its versatility also makes it suitable as a charming, low hedge or for that tricky north-facing wall. With few thorns, it is also a pleasure to care for.

At Belle Époque Rose Nursery, a family business with over 40 years of passion and experience in Aalsmeer, we grow our roses with love and craftsmanship. When you choose the Roald Dahl® from Belle Époque, you choose a rose delivered directly from the grower, cultivated using sustainable methods.

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.
