Sorry, sold out for 2013.
Available again in January 2014 for spring delivery!

Belle Poitevine is a beautiful rose with large, semi-double, medium-pink blossoms. The blooms are extremely fragrant and produced in flushes from early summer until frost. When conditions are right, you can smell the fragrance from up to five feet away. Belle Poitevine produces large, orange-red rose hips starting in late summer that stay on the plant throughout the winter. It also shows good fall color, with hues from dark yellow to orange. This rose grows into a dense, mounded shrub about 4-feet tall and about as wide. It blends well into any landscape situation, either by itself, in a mixed border or as a hedge. Very healthy foliage and completely winter hardy to Zone 3. This is one of our favorite roses. Always reliable and always beautiful.

What's a "bareroot" plant?

Photo of bareroot plant"Bareroot" is a term that describes how a plant is shipped to you. A bareroot plant is not in a pot, and is usually dormant (not actively growing). See the photo to the right that shows what a bareroot rose looks like. The bareroot plants that we ship to you were harvested in the fall and placed in cold storage over the winter to keep them dormant. In the spring, we ship the bareroot plants to our customers, from early April through mid May.

Bareroot plants are easy to grow. We include planting instructions with your order. When you receive your plant, take it out of the packing material and place it in a bucket of water so that the roots are completely covered. Let the roots soak for 4 to 24 hours, then plant it in your garden. Full planting instructions with photos are available on our Planting Roses page.
