Port Sunlight (Auslofty) (standard form)

The Rosa ‘Port Sunlight’ standard rose (90 cm) is a splendid creation by David Austin, cherished for its large, rosette-shaped flowers and its warm apricot-peach hue. The flowers, up to 9 cm wide, are richly filled with countless petals that are lightly quartered – a classic trait of the finest English roses.

During blooming, the colour subtly shifts from deep apricot to a soft peach shade, creating a lively and natural play of colours. The strong Tea Rose scent makes this standard rose not only visually striking but also a delight for the senses.

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.
