Bare-root roses are available to order now, with deliveries starting on 26 October. Close ↑
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.

Full description:
Some roses attract attention. Perle Noire® quietly commands it. Its velvety flowers open in a mysterious black-red shade, crimson on the reverse, creating the deep, almost shadowed colour that inspired its name.
Created by Georges Delbard in 1975 under the varietal name Delurt, Perle Noire® has a classic upright Hybrid Tea habit and reaches about 80–100 cm. Its colour has a rare advantage among very dark roses: it resists scorching and fading in strong sunshine.
The double flowers contain around 35–40 petals and are carried above dense, matt green foliage. The fragrance is discreet, allowing the dramatic colour and elegant flower form to take centre stage.
Perle Noire® is remontant and floriferous, producing new flowers through the season. It also performs beautifully as a cut rose, with excellent flower holding quality and an elegant presence in bouquets and floral arrangements.
The variety received two international medals in 1974: a Silver Medal at Le Roeulx in Belgium and a Bronze Medal in Tokyo, Japan.
