Delicate Bess at a glance
Step into the enchanting world of the 'Dainty Bess', a characterful large-flowered tea rose that recalls the timeless elegance of yesteryear. This classic rose, selected before 1925, charms with its airy, open bloom. The delicate flowers, consisting of 5 to 6 soft pink petals with a subtle salmon-pink undertone, are beautifully contrasted by striking red-yellow stamens. Enjoy the mild, spicy fragrance reminiscent of the pristine beauty of wild roses, and let yourself be carried away to an atmosphere of calm and natural grace.
With a compact height and width of about 70 cm, the 'Dainty Bess' is an excellent choice for borders, flower beds, and even smaller gardens or pots. Its upright, branched growth habit and fresh green foliage provide a healthy appearance, while the rose blooms abundantly in several waves throughout the season. For a lush and full effect, we recommend three plants per square meter, transforming your garden into a soft pink dream.
At Belle Époque Rose Nursery in Aalsmeer, you buy the 'Dainty Bess' directly from the grower. With over 40 years of expertise and passion, we provide you with strong, healthy roses that have been carefully cultivated. Each specimen guarantees years of enjoyment and brings a touch of timeless beauty and color to your garden, straight from our family business to your home.
