Sir John Betjeman (Ausvivid)

The Sir John Betjeman rose opens from sturdy small buds into rounded flowers in an intensely deep pink shade. The lively colour provides a striking contrast in borders and makes it an eye-catcher in both small and large gardens.
Thanks to its compact and healthy growth, this rose is especially suitable for smaller gardens or at the front of the border. The subtle apple scent gives a refined and fresh touch to the outdoor space, while the repeat-flowering nature ensures blooms from early summer through to autumn.

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.
