Zephyrine Drouhin (XL Climbing Rose)

The Rosa ‘Zéphirine Drouhin’ XL Climbing Rose (160 cm) is a timeless classic that has adorned gardens since the 19th century. This historic climbing rose is cherished for its thornless stems, its abundant blooming, and its delightful scent – a perfect choice for those seeking elegance, ease, and character in one rose.

The semi-double, cup-shaped flowers open in a warm raspberry pink shade and spread an intense, sweet fragrance that fills the entire garden. It blooms profusely from May to October, with a continuous supply of flowers that transform walls, pergolas, and fences into a fragrant sea of blossoms.

The ‘Zéphirine Drouhin’ is a vigorous grower that can reach a height of 3 to 4 meters but also thrives excellently as a generous shrub rose (up to 2.5 meters). Thanks to its thornless branches it is especially suitable for places where ease and accessibility are important, such as along paths or near terraces.

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.
