Collection: Japanese Rose (Camellia)

The Japanese Rose Camellia at Belle Epoque

At Belle Epoque we are pleased to announce a new addition to our range: the beautiful Japanese rose Camellia! Although we do not currently grow this elegant plant ourselves, we can bring it directly from the grower to you as a consumer, without intermediaries.

History of the Camellia

The Camellia, often known as the Japanese rose, has a rich history dating back centuries ago in Asia. The plant was first cultivated in China and Japan, where it was loved for its beautiful flowers and glossy leaves. Introduced to Europe in the 18th century, the Camellia quickly became a favorite in the gardens of nobility and enthusiasts of exotic plants.

Fun fact: when Belle Epoque started in 1978/1979, we also grew Camellias in addition to our beloved roses. Although we do not currently grow our own Camellias, we hope to be able to offer our own again in the future. For now, we are proud to work with a trusted fellow grower who shares the same passion for quality and beauty.
