The Roald Dahl® is one of those roses that naturally brings joy. It opens from warm orange-red buds and unfolds into medium-sized, richly filled rosettes in a soft apricot shade. The color subtly changes during blooming, making your bush always lively and surprising.
The flowers have an elegant, almost nostalgic shape and spread a light fruity tea scent. Not overpowering, but just enough to give it extra charm.

The rose is named after Roald Dahl, the famous British writer of children’s books. He became world-famous with stories like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, and The BFG.
His books are known for their imagination, humour, and a touch of whimsy. Just like this rose: playful, warm, and full of character. Dahl knew like no other how to combine wonder with strength – exactly what you also see in this strong, healthy garden rose.

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 – 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.
