(Gallicas) Camaïeux produces sumptuous, fully double blooms of pale blush-pink boldly striped and splashed with rich purplish-crimson, each flower a unique study in contrast. Carried on gracefully arching stems among soft grey-green foliage, they fill the midsummer garden with a deeply sweet, heady fragrance. Few striped roses possess such painterly charm.

Frequently asked questions

Bare-root Camaieux 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 Camaieux 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 Camaieux is back in stock.

Camaieux's mature growth range is 90cm x 90cm (3ft x 3ft). 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.

Old Garden roses are the historic classes bred before modern Hybrid Teas arrived in the 1860s — groups like Gallica, Damask, Bourbon, China and Moss roses. They’re prized for their old-fashioned charm, rich fragrance and, in many cases, tougher, more resilient growth than modern varieties.

Camaieux belongs to the Gallicas class, one of these historic groups.
