The Rosa Madame Alfred Carrière is a true classic among climbing roses and exudes timeless grace. This historic rose was introduced in 1879 by Joseph Schwartz and has since earned its place in countless gardens worldwide.
The flowers are large, well-filled, and display a soft creamy white color with subtle pink shades. Their cup- to bowl-shaped appearance and rich scent make them irresistible to every rose enthusiast. Madame Alfred Carrière blooms continuously from June to October and reaches impressive heights of up to five meters, making it perfect for walls, pergolas, or covering old walls.
A famous example of its beauty can be admired on the façade of Sissinghurst Castle, where this rose holds an iconic place. Thanks to its winter hardiness, strong growth, and reliable blooming, Madame Alfred Carrière is a true asset for any garden that deserves a romantic and historic look.

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.
