Desdemona (Auskindling)

The Rosa Desdemona, an English shrub rose from David Austin, is known for its elegant, chalice-shaped flowers in a soft light pink hue. These refined flowers are not only beautiful to look at, but also emit a rich fragrance with warm notes of almond, lemon, and classic rose.

Thanks to its continuous blooming character, you can enjoy an abundance of flowers all summer and autumn long. The compact and bushy growth habit makes Desdemona versatile: perfect in borders, along paths, or as an eye-catcher in a generous pot.

This rose combines beauty with strength. It is healthy, highly disease-resistant and requires little maintenance. By removing faded flowers, blooming is stimulated and the shrub stays in top shape even longer. With good soil preparation and an annual mulch layer of compost or manure, Desdemona will be a reliable and elegant presence in the garden for many years.

At Belle Epoque Roses, we deliver Desdemona exclusively directly from the nursery - fresh, strong, and grown with the utmost care.

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.
