James Brown – a powerful rose with exceptional colors

The ‘James Brown’ rose is anything but ordinary. Its flowers display an exceptional interplay of warm brown, rust, copper, and coppery red. The exact color may change throughout the season and under the influence of the weather, making every bloom a new surprise.

A special rose from Aalsmeer

‘James Brown’ was developed by KAS 1924 in Aalsmeer, under the direction of rose breeder Dirk Alderden. His preference for rare flower colors and characterful roses is beautifully expressed in this variety. The result is a strong garden rose with a distinctive appearance all its own.

Exclusive as a garden rose at Belle Epoque

This exceptional rose is available only in small quantities and exclusively as a garden rose from Belle Epoque. This makes ‘James Brown’ a true collector’s rose for garden enthusiasts seeking exceptional colors and a unique range of roses.

In the garden, the plant develops into a strong, characterful shrub. Give it time to establish itself properly, and it will reward you with flowers whose color can vary subtly at each flowering stage: from warm chocolate brown and rust to deep coppery red.

Thanks to its warm colors, ‘James Brown’ combines beautifully with cream, soft sandy tones, apricot, dusty pink, and deep burgundy. Its distinctive flower color also comes beautifully into its own among ornamental grasses and plants with dark foliage.
