St. Swithun (Auswith)

The St Swithun rose produces exceptionally large flowers with more than 120 petals neatly arranged around a characteristic central button eye. The bloom begins soft pink in the heart and fades to a light, delicate pink tone at the edges.
The scent is intense and pure myrrh, giving this rose a classic fragrance in the garden. With its strong growth and reliable reblooming, St Swithun is suitable both as a tall shrub and for use as a short climber against a wall, pergola, or fence.

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.
