Bessie

Ausperidot (US PP35676)

Bessie’s colour transitions beautifully starting as an ivory bud opening quickly into a classic deep cup to reveal shades of apricot at her centre. As her petals relax Bessie’s shape becomes more rosette-like, her colour paling to buttery cream, developing hints of caramel whilst always maintaining a halo of ivory outer petals. Her light to medium fragrance is a combination of tea with undertones of myrrh. Bessie is like a collection of our favourite things – clotted cream, pearls, silk ribbons and soft, billowy pillows.

Bessie’s apricot and creamy tones allow her to work across a range of colour palettes from lilac and pale blues through to pinks and yellows. A versatile and super pretty addition to our collection, Bessie has a gentleness that is beautiful and demure. Her character is the perfect rose for a classic bride.

Working with Bessie has been an absolute pleasure. Her rosette is delightfully full and gorgeously open, while her colour mesmerisingly transitions from cream to peach, creating a captivating play of hues. In my opinion, she embodies a sense of romance, luxury, and royalty, yet she retains a pure and innocent charm.
