About Charles de Gaulle

The 'Charles de Gaulle' is a rose that immediately captures attention with its enchanting purple hue and rich, spicy fragrance reminiscent of verbena. This large-flowered shrub rose exudes unmistakable character and elegance, transforming any garden into an oasis of color and scent. A true eye-catcher that delights both the eye and the nose.

With abundant blooms from May well into October, the 'Charles de Gaulle' fills your garden for months with its impressive flowers measuring about 12 cm. Perfect for sunny borders, as a solitary plant, or in groups for a powerful splash of color. Combine it with white or yellow roses for a stylish contrast. Thanks to its sturdy growth and suitability as a cut flower, you can easily bring the unique charm of this rose indoors as well.

At Belle Époque Rose Nursery in Aalsmeer, you can buy this beautiful 'Charles de Gaulle' rose directly from the grower, with over 40 years of expertise and passion. We cultivate our roses sustainably, resulting in strong, healthy plants with excellent disease resistance and winter hardiness down to -15°C. This way, you can enjoy this unique large-flowered rose worry-free for many years, straight from the heart of Dutch rose cultivation.

Care & Plants
Plant bare-root roses between October and April, and potted roses throughout the year, as long as the ground is not frozen. Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Dig a spacious planting hole, place the rose so that the graft union is just below the soil surface, fill in with soil, and press firmly. Water generously after planting.
Prune the Charles de Gaulle in early spring, around March, when the worst frost has passed. Remove dead, weak, or crossing branches and cut back the remaining branches to 3-5 buds above the ground. This encourages new growth and abundant flowering.
Water the Charles de Gaulle regularly during dry periods and when in pots to keep the soil slightly moist. Fertilize in early spring and after the first bloom with a special rose fertilizer for abundant flowering and strong growth. A layer of mulch around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

"The rose is well packaged and looks beautiful. Fast delivery, and the personal advice via email was very valuable — I wasn’t sure where to plant it."
