Unique Colour Characteristics
What sets Champagne Moment apart is its remarkable colour complexity. The champagne base is enhanced by subtle variations that change throughout the day and season. Morning light reveals creamy tones, whilst afternoon sun brings out peachy highlights. As flowers mature, deeper apricot notes emerge, creating a constantly evolving display that keeps the garden interesting throughout the flowering period.
Special Occasion Appeal
The name Champagne Moment perfectly captures this rose's ability to create memorable garden scenes. Whether celebrating special occasions or simply enjoying everyday garden moments, this variety brings a sense of luxury and celebration to outdoor spaces. The sophisticated colouring and exceptional fragrance make it particularly suitable for wedding gardens and romantic garden settings.
Companion Planting Excellence
The champagne tones create stunning combinations with a wide range of companion plants. Deep purple perennials like salvia and lavender provide rich contrasts, whilst silver-leaved plants such as artemisia and lamb's ear enhance the subtle colouring. For sophisticated schemes, combine with other peachy roses or coral-toned perennials. White flowers add elegance, whilst deep burgundy foliage plants create dramatic backdrops.
Cut Flower Garden Value
Champagne Moment excels as a cut flower variety, with blooms that last well in arrangements whilst maintaining their colour and fragrance. The large flower size and strong stems make them ideal for formal arrangements, whilst the unique colour works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary floral designs. Regular cutting for indoor use actually encourages more blooms to develop.
Fragrance and Sensory Appeal
The fragrance of Champagne Moment is as distinctive as its colour, offering a complex blend of sweet rose notes enhanced by citrus undertones and warm spice elements. The scent is most pronounced in the early morning and evening, making it particularly valuable for gardens designed for relaxation and contemplation. The combination of visual beauty and delightful fragrance creates a truly multi-sensory garden experience.
Modern Breeding Excellence
This variety represents the best of contemporary rose breeding, combining the visual appeal of unique colouring with practical garden benefits like disease resistance and weather tolerance. The breeding programme focused on creating a rose that would perform reliably whilst offering something genuinely different in terms of colour and garden impact.
During hot summer periods, ensure adequate moisture to maintain flower quality and prevent stress. The large blooms benefit from some protection during heavy rain, though the sturdy stems generally provide good support. In areas with harsh winters, a light mulch around the base provides additional protection, though this variety shows good natural hardiness.
Champagne Moment offers gardeners the opportunity to grow something truly distinctive whilst enjoying the reliability and performance that modern rose breeding provides. Its sophisticated beauty and practical garden virtues make it an excellent choice for those seeking to create memorable garden displays with lasting appeal.

How our roses are supplied through the seasons
All our roses are cultivated in an open field and are carefully dug up when the weather is optimal, typically in October or November. While other nurseries supply roses bare root, once our field-grown roses have been potted up we supply them freshly potted. This better protects the roots and helps keep them moist in transit, ensuring your roses arrive as healthy as when they left our nursery. So don’t be alarmed if the compost comes away from the roots when you remove them from the pot.

The roses can remain in their pots over the winter, as long as they are properly watered and fed, but it's best to plant them out as soon as possible. If you do plant them straight away make sure the planting mix is prepared first, hold the root close to the top of the hole as you tip the pot upside down and try to keep as much compost as possible from falling away. They will already be pruned, so no additional pruning is needed except for trimming any dead tips. Regular pruning can start in late winter, the year after planting.

Rose Types
Hybrid Tea Roses (HT)
Hybrid Tea roses are probably the most popular group of roses, available in both bush and standard form they have long flower stems and shapely blooms. Blooms are typically medium to large in size, with many petals which form a distinct central cone.
Floribunda Roses (FL)
Floribunda roses bears its flowers in clusters or trusses, with several blooms open at time in each truss. A popular choice the Floribunda rose group is unrivalled for colour, reliability and longevity as a bedding display however the flower form in generally inferior to the Hybrid Tea.
Patio Roses (PATIO)
Patio roses were introduced in the 1980’s and the group now contains several popular varieties. Generally low-growing roses that were once grouped with the Floribuna group but have now been put in their own group of compact versions. Usually growing about 50cm high they make excellent plants for patio containers or at the front of borders.
Climbing Roses (CLM)
Climbing roses as the name suggests are the perfect choice for covering a wall or screen. Often grouped together with Ramblers, Climbers tend to have stiffer stems, larger flowers but smaller trusses than Ramblers.
Rambling Roses (RAM)
Rambling roses are often grouped with Climbing Roses but the ramblers tend to have a more pliable stems that can be used to run along the soil to use as groundcover or can be used to make weeping standards.

English Roses (ENG)
Often referred to as Austin or David Austin Roses, English roses are hybrids of old English roses and more modern varieties bread by David Austin to provide the best of both, mixing old rose shapes and scents with more modern colour range, compact habits and repeat flowering.

Planting Advice
Roses like a generous root space, so dig a deep hole approximately twice as wide as the current root system, preferably adding composted organic matter to the soil. Never plant into frozen soil – in winter, await a frost-free period. Carefully remove the pot and gently tease the roots apart to spread them around the hole. Position the plant so that the ‘bud point’ (the place where the shoots emerge from, where the cultivated rose was grafted onto the rootstock) is at soil level. Replace the soil, firming it down gently, then water copiously. Ideally, a general purpose fertiliser should be applied to the surrounding soil as a top dressing. We also highly recommend the use of Rose Rootgrow, which provides a friendly fungus that prevents ‘rose replant syndrome’.

Buying our Roses
Most of our roses are supplied in a 4 litre pot although this may vary slightly depending on rose variety. If the size of pot differes significatly from 4 litres then we will make this clear somewhere on the product page.
Seasonality
Our roses are grown outdoors and as such are subject to seasonal changes. As we sell potted stock throughout the year your rose may not arrive and look like you expect it to. If you are uncertain how your rose will arrive (especially if buying for a gift) then we suggest you contact us prior to making a purchase.
Freshly Potted
Each year a new batch of roses is potted up ready for the following season. Once potted (usually November/December time) they go on sale as 'Freshly Potted'. If you purchase a freshly potted rose and plant it soon after you will find that when removing the rose from the pot there will be a lot of loose soil as the roots will not have had time to grow and bind the compost.

Pruned/Cut Back
In autumn the majority of our roses have finished flowering and begin to look untidy, at this point we prune them quite hard in preparation for the following season. We continue to sell roses throughout the year, when a rose has been pruned in such a way we will identify it has being so. If you are not sure what to expect then please ask prior to making a purchase. Some garden centres/supermarkets sell stock that has been grown abroad or in poly-tunnels so they look 'picture perfect' out of season, while this is ideal for a gift they are short lived once planted.
