Minerva

Discover the enchanting 'Minerva', a cluster rose that brings a true revolution to your garden. This exceptional beauty opens its well-filled flowers in a deep, mysterious purple and then gradually transforms into a breathtaking blue as the summer progresses. A unique color spectacle rarely seen in the world of roses! Each flower, with an impressive diameter of about 8 cm, is beautifully highlighted by the glossy green leaves and emits a rich, classic rose fragrance that stimulates the senses and evokes memories of times gone by.

With a compact and elegant stature of about 70 cm high and 50 cm wide, 'Minerva' is the perfect choice for various garden applications. It feels just as at home in the foreground of a border, as an eye-catcher in a flower bed, or as an atmosphere enhancer in a spacious pot on your terrace or balcony. Its continuous blooming character, from June to late October, guarantees an uninterrupted flow of beautiful flowers and fragrance, making it a reliable and indispensable asset for every garden lover seeking both beauty and ease of use.

Continuous flowering

Plant the rose in a spot with at least 6 hours of sun per day during the growing season (April–September) for best flowering. It also tolerates partial shade (4-5 hours of sun).

Strongly scented

Roses in pots

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 directly in the garden or in a larger pot, without having to wait for root growth. This makes the potted rose ideal for planting throughout the year, especially from May through October.

Roses with bare roots

Bare-root roses – also called root roses – are rose plants delivered without a pot or soil. These roses are dormant and can be planted directly in open ground. The best time to plant a root rose is in autumn or early spring, when the soil is still moist and the temperature mild.

At Belle Epoque we supply bare-root roses from November through April. Thanks to the well-developed root system and the right planting conditions, these roses grow vigorously into healthy and bloom-rich bushes or climbing roses.

Products are shipped directly from the nursery every Monday and Wednesday. By delivering only twice a week, we reduce logistical emissions and optimise our processes. This benefits both the quality of our products and the climate.
