Vanessa Bell Rose

Soft buttercream petals, touched with morning light.

Vanessa Bell begins in delicate pink-tinged buds, opening into gently cupped blooms of buttery yellow that soften to creamy white at the edges. Each flower is layered and quietly beautiful, like a brushstroke across a canvas.

Her fragrance is fresh and refined, with notes of green tea and soft hints of lemon and honey, light, uplifting and gently comforting.

Held in graceful clusters, the blooms feel airy yet generous, glowing softly in the garden and gathering beautifully into a vase.

Named for the artist and sister of Virginia Woolf, this rose honours creativity, intellect and the quiet strength of women who shape the world in their own way.

Delicate in colour yet resilient in growth, she flowers generously on a neat, bushy shrub, returning season after season with effortless grace.

There is something about her, soft, thoughtful and quietly inspiring.

Perfect for
A woman you admire.
A creative soul.
A sister, friend or daughter finding her voice.

A rose that says,
“Your quiet strength is beautiful.”
