What customers say
La Ville de Bruxelles earns high praise primarily for its intoxicating, rich Old Rose fragrance, often considered a standout in the collection. Its deep magenta pink color and perfectly cupped blooms create a luxurious, classic garden centerpiece. Reviewers consistently note its reliable seasonal flushes of flowers. However, this beauty requires dedicated attention. Many experienced gardeners caution that this English Rose demands consistent feeding, pruning, and vigilance against common ailments like black spot, particularly in humid areas. While initial establishment can challenge new growers, the consensus remains that the unparalleled beauty and powerful scent fully justify the required effort and investment for those prepared to provide the necessary care.
