‘This perfumed, pearly-blush English bedding rose shows serene beauty which masks a formidable array of qualities. Rosa Belmonte is a bedding rose par excellence, amazingly dense and leafy, its luxuriance of leathery foliage being crowned by a confection of pearl pink blooms. The perfume is distinct, tendency to fruity with citrus undertones.

Rosa Belmonte is a reliable rose that can be grown with confidence, making it ideal for gardeners with no particular expertise. ‘Reliable’ goes hand in glove with ‘environmentally acceptable’, because reliable roses can grow without fungicide. Thankfully, the days of routine spraying are more or less a thing of the past; gardeners in the 21st century increasingly expect to plant their rose and get great results without fuss. This is what Rosa Belmonte delivers.’ (from Harkness Roses)
