Belle Poitevine

Belle Poitevine, Rosa 'Belle Poitevine', was introduced in 1894. It is accompanied by dense, richly veined foliage. The deep magenta-pink buds unfurl in early summer to informal warm pink blooms that continue in fragrant waves until the arrival of frost. In fall, the foliage is transformed into a beautiful autumnal display of yellow and orange, accented perfectly by large orange-red fruit. Own root. 'Belle Poitevine' is fragrant and would make a good choice for a large hedge, especially in cooler climates. A healthy, vigorous plant, it can reach 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide.
