David Hockney (XL Climbing Rose)

ps. Available after January

The David Hockney® is a striking, modern rose from Meilland’s prestigious range. This rose immediately catches the eye thanks to its special play of colors: warm apricot and peach tones with a fresh, coral-pink nuance. The flower shape is generous, softly folded, and very elegant — just as you would expect from a rose named after a world-famous artist.

An ideal rose for gardens where color, creativity, and modern romance are central.

• Flower diameter: approx. 10–12 cm
• Number of petals: 45+
• Color: peach, apricot, coral, and soft pink shades
• Scent: light to medium fruity-floral perfume
• Height: approx. 200 - 250 cm
• Width: 100 - 150 cm
• Bloom: continuously blooming, from spring until the first frost
• Health: strong resistance to powdery mildew and black spot

The shrub is compact, well-branched, and always displays its flowers in elegant clusters. A particularly decorative rose that looks beautiful in both modern and classic garden styles.

The David Hockney® continuously produces new flower buds, allowing you to enjoy a vibrant explosion of colors from May to October.

Perfect for:

• colorful borders
• modern gardens
• combinations with blue, purple, or dark green perennials
• cut flowers: the flower holds well in the vase
• artistic garden compositions in which color plays a leading role

Thanks to the compact size, it is also very suitable for smaller gardens or large pots.

David Hockney (born 1937) is one of the most influential and beloved contemporary artists in the world. He is known for his colorful paintings, vibrant landscapes, and iconic swimming pool sketches. His style is cheerful, expressive, modern, and bold — a celebration of color and light.

Meilland honored him with this rose that perfectly reflects his signature:

• Colorful: warm, vibrant shades that immediately stand out
• Creative: a flower shape with playful layers and expressive presence
• Optimistic: a rose that radiates the same energy as Hockney’s art

This rose is therefore not only a garden plant but also a subtle artwork in the garden.

• Unique, modern color combination
• Strong health and continuous blooming
• Large, elegant flowers
• Compact shrub — ideal for many garden styles
• Light fruity scent
• A rose with an artistic background

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.
