Bessie has a gentleness that is beautiful and demure and endlessly elegant. She is a classic, timeless example of a David Austin Rose. Watch her grow, evolve and bloom in your vase day by day. Her colour transformation is mesmerising as her shades and tones evolve and blend throughout her opening process. She is like a living canvas of ivory, buttery cream, whispers of caramel and apricot that shift with each passing day. She gives quite a performance. Gift this rose to your most charming friend, companion, loved one, or as a complement to your own home.

More than 10 years ago, she was an unknown tiny seedling but even in her early years she will have made an impression to stand out in the crowd of many thousands of seedlings. Now she is beauty personified, admired all around the world. Watching her bloom is a spectacle in itself. What begins as a tight bud opens into a perfectly formed, flat rosette, as if she is reinventing herself. As she opens, so does her fragrance. She is like opening a bottle of refined perfume that transforms the room into a sensory delight. She has a unique colour with tones of mid pinks, developing hints of lilac and mauve as she opens. She is like the gift that keeps on giving as her colour, form and scent evolve with each day. Who would you send Millicent to? She enjoys Anniversaries, Birthday celebrations and especially baby showers. She also loves to be styled for a dinner party in your home.
