Russet Hybrid Tea.

Bred by Gareth Fryer (1948-....) (United Kingdom, before 1993).

Hybrid Tea.  

Russet, copper shading.  Strong fragrance.  Large, double (17-25 petals), high-centered bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  Long buds.  

Bushy.  Medium, glossy foliage.  

Height: 33" (85cm).  

USDA zone 6b and warmer.  Can be used for beds and borders, container rose, cut flower or garden.  Vigorous.  Disease susceptibility: very disease resistant.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  

Fryer's Roses says Belle Epoque is an unusually coloured Hybrid Tea. The colour is a most curious dark nectarine-bronze on the outside of the petals which contrasts with the lighter shade of golden-bronze on the inside. This rose is a Royal National Rose Society Trial Ground Certificate winner, too.
