Notes:
Fryer's Roses says Belle Epoque is an unusually coloured Hybrid Tea. The colour is a most curious dark nectarine-bronze on the outside of the petals which contrasts with the lighter shade of golden-bronze on the inside. This rose is a Royal National Rose Society Trial Ground Certificate winner, too.
