Bare-root roses are lifted only after they enter dormancy and the shoots have fully matured and hardened. Lifting them too early can stress the plants and leave young growth insufficiently mature.
We do not force the season simply to ship earlier. We wait for the right point in the plant’s natural cycle, so you receive a strong, well-matured rose ready for planting and the season ahead.
What about colder regions and winter frost?
Waiting until the shoots have fully matured helps the plants enter winter better prepared for low temperatures.
Famous Roses provides a 180-day establishment guarantee for bare-root roses.

We finally found a rose that managed to climb high enough to reach the talent of the formidable artist whose name it bears, elegantly yet humorously. Louis de Funès brings that same sense of presence, energy and good mood into the garden, taking the lead role with cheerful orange flowers and a warm, expressive character.
Its large flowers, around 10 cm across and composed of approximately 32 petals, brighten the garden with vivid orange shades that immediately catch the eye. Set against bright foliage, the blooms create a lively display that feels joyful, confident and elegant.
Flowering begins in May and continues until the first frost, giving the garden a long season of colour and movement. With a climbing habit that reaches approximately 1.9 m in height, Louis de Funès is ideal for sunny walls, arches, fences, pillars and vertical garden features.
Awarded three medals, including Gold Medals in Geneva and Monza, this climbing rose combines personality with proven performance. Its good disease resistance makes it a reassuring choice for gardeners who want a rose that brings colour, character and lasting visual pleasure.
