Sir John Betjeman (Ausvivid)

Be enchanted by the 'Sir John Betjeman' (Ausvivid), a David Austin rose that blooms from sturdy buds into beautiful, globular flowers in an intense deep pink shade. This vibrant color creates a striking contrast in your garden, a true eye-catcher that adds poetry to any outdoor space. The subtle, fresh apple fragrance envelops your garden with a refined scent, while the lush continuous blooming treats you to an unending floral display from early summer through late autumn.

With its compact and healthy growth, the 'Sir John Betjeman' is an excellent choice for both smaller gardens and the front edge of a border. It thrives beautifully as a solitary plant but also shines in groups, where it creates a lively pink sea. Perfect for classic cottage gardens, yet equally a modern addition that provides structure and color to any garden design.

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.
