City of York at a glance
Discover the enchanting charm of Rosa 'City of York', a lush climbing rose whose large, semi-double white flowers add a touch of nostalgia to any garden. This classic rambler, introduced by Tantau in 1939, is known for its light, refined fragrance and abundant flowering, which attracts bees and butterflies. An old-fashioned treasure that delights the senses and creates a romantic atmosphere.
With an impressive height of 350 to 600 cm, 'City of York' (also known as 'Direktor Benschop') is the ideal choice for covering pergolas, walls, and fences, or as a spectacular tree climber. It thrives even on a north-facing wall or in partial shade, making it exceptionally versatile. After flowering, this rose develops charming rose hips, which provide additional decorative value in autumn and attract birds.
At Belle Époque Rozenkwekerij in Aalsmeer, we care for our roses with passion and craftsmanship. This 'City of York' is organically grown and SKAL-certified, guaranteeing a healthy and strong plant. With more than 40 years of experience, we ensure that you receive a quality rose, shipped directly from our nursery, ready to enrich your garden.
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.
