(Chinas) Clusters of small, perfectly formed, fully double blooms in warm buff-peach and apricot gold open with exquisite rosette precision, their rich, sweet, fruity fragrance lingering long in the air. Flowering with remarkable generosity from early summer well into autumn, this rose offers season-long charm against handsome deep green foliage. Its name, translating beautifully as "pearl of gold," seems entirely fitting for a rose of such quietly luminous distinction.

Frequently asked questions

Bare-root Perle D'Or roses are best planted during their dormant season, from November to March, which is also when we dispatch them. Potted roses are grown in containers and can be planted at any time of year — just avoid periods of hard frost or drought, and water thoroughly after planting.

Every rose we sell is covered by our 1-year Rose Guarantee, so you can plant Perle D'Or with confidence. See our Rose Guarantee page for the full details.

Often, yes — we grow our roses ourselves and stock varies through the season, so a variety that's sold out can come back. Use the "Notify me" button above to be emailed the moment Perle D'Or is back in stock.

Perle D'Or's mature growth range is 120cm x 60cm (4ft x 2ft). Growing conditions such as soil, sunlight, feeding and pruning can affect the final size, so treat this as a guide rather than an exact figure.
