Japanese Rose BI – Song of Hiroshima is a rose with emotional depth and gentle strength. Its lilac-pink flowers bloom in clusters and give the shrub a light, almost floating appearance. This is a rose that is not only beautiful but also tells a story.

The meaning of the name

Song of Hiroshima means Song of Hiroshima. The name poetically refers to remembrance, vulnerability, and hope. In Japan, beauty is often linked to transience and renewal – these layers come together in this rose.

It is a name that sounds soft but carries a deep meaning.

Japanese origin & breeding

This rose was bred by Kazuzo Tagashira in Japan, before 2011.
Song of Hiroshima belongs to the group of Hybrid Moschata / shrub roses, known for their natural growth habit, cluster flowering, and garden value.

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.
