Princess Alexandra of Kent (Ausmerchant) (on stem)
- Shipping information | Bare-root rose shipping from November | Potted rose delivery within 3–5 working days
The Rosa ‘Princess Alexandra of Kent’ standard rose (90 cm) is a regal sight from the collection of David Austin. Its large, bowl-shaped flowers with as many as 130 petals per flower are among the most impressive within the English range. The colour fades from a soft, pale pink outer edge to a deeper, warm pink centre — an enchanting contrast that gives this rose its unmistakable charm.
Besides its lush beauty, this standard rose offers a unique scent experience: a fresh tea fragrance that develops into notes of lemon and blackcurrant – elegant, fresh and fruity all at once.

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.
