Large-Flowered Roses

Big, Bigger, Biggest!

Large-flowered roses usually have large, double flowers and one flower per stem. How we use roses in our gardens has changed over the years. No more straight lines of standards in clean flower beds, with nicely hoed soil underneath. In today’s gardens, we aim for a more natural effect. As large-flowered roses give us colour and fragrance for a long time, they form a valuable addition to a mixed flower bed. Due to their size, large-flowered roses attract attention in the garden. By combining the large-flowered rose with other border plants, the ‘Queen of flowers’ will look even more regal and beautiful.

Planting rose bushes

The large-flowered rose bush prefers a nice sunny spot with lots of light and air around it. Large-flowering rose bushes can stand alone but you get a great result by grouping three to five rose bushes together. The flowering period is very long, from June through to November. Most of Bakker.com’s large-flowered roses can be used as cut flowers so you can enjoy these impressive flowers indoors.
