Polka (XL Climbing Rose)

The Rosa ‘Polka’ XL Climbing Rose (160 cm) is a true masterpiece by the French breeder Jacques Mouchotte, known for iconic creations such as Carefree Delight, Bonica and Wonder. This refined climbing rose brings a romantic, warm glow to any garden with its large, apricot-coloured flowers.

The flowers of ‘Polka’ are large (up to 15 cm in diameter) and densely filled, with a rich apricot colour that softly brightens towards the edges. They spread a classic, sweet scent that fills the garden with a touch of nostalgia. The repeat-flowering nature of this rose ensures a long blooming period – from early summer well into autumn – allowing you to enjoy its lavish splendour for months.

The ‘Polka’ can be grown both as a compact shrub (up to 1.5 metres) and as a vigorous climber (up to 4 metres). It is hardy in winter, resistant to diseases, and requires little care. This makes it an excellent choice for walls, pergolas, and rose arches, or as a stylish eye-catcher in larger gardens.

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.
