The Ancient Mariner (Ausoutcry)

The The Ancient Mariner rose blooms with an abundance of large, full flowers in a warm mid-pink shade. The flowers brighten towards the edges and gradually reveal an attractive cluster of golden stamens. The scent is a classic, medium to strong myrrh fragrance, adding a refined atmosphere to the garden.
The shrub grows bushy and fairly upright, making it excellent for borders, mixed beds, and cottage gardens. The name of this rose is inspired by the famous epic poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

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.
