Belle Epoque - one of the first and one of the best bi-color roses I have ever got. Bred by Gareth Fryer (United Kingdom, 1994).
I like to call it a perfect autumn rose - because its autumn flush probably is most attractive, the colors remaining rich russet-amber even when the bloom ages (otherwise it tends to turn pink, floppy and shatter quick if the summer is very hot).
Since it is a hybrid tea rose, of course it reblooms, stays healthy, grows to about 1 m high here, quite vigorous. In the descriptions it says - fragrant, but I can't recall it having any fragrance to speak off.
