Port Sunlight (Auslofty)

The Port Sunlight rose produces large rosette-shaped flowers up to about 9 cm wide, filled with numerous petals that are slightly quartered and display a warm apricot-peach color. As the flowers age, they gently fade to lighter shades, creating a vibrant play of colors.
The young leaves and stems are initially bronze-red and later turn dark green, providing a beautiful contrast with the flowers. Port Sunlight is known for its strong, pleasant Tea Rose scent and blooms abundantly and reliably from early summer to autumn.

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.
