Garden Rose - YELLOW - Vanessa Bell 50cm - (10 stems)

Soft Lemon Elegance

Meet Vanessa Bell, a breath of fresh air for your summer floral designs. We are extremely lucky to be able to offer our customers these exceptional, locally grown British beauties. This exquisite garden rose bears mid-sized, semi-double flowers that open into beautifully cupped rosettes. The colour palette is pure poetry, displaying delicate pale lemon to primrose yellow tones that fade slowly to a soft, romantic cream at the edges. With a delightful fragrance reminiscent of green tea and lemon, she brings a soft, luminescent glow to any arrangement.

Fresh British Garden Rose Care & Conditioning

To get the absolute best vase life from your British-grown garden roses, a little professional care goes a long way. Because these are authentic, field-grown blooms, they have a fleeting and delicate lifespan once cut. To guarantee they arrive safely, your roses are hand-wrapped in protective greaseproof paper and dispatched fresh from local fields. They will arrive as a mix of a few open flowers and plenty of tight, fresh buds.

Follow these essential conditioning steps immediately upon delivery:

• The Golden Rule (Debudding): Because these roses move quickly, you will likely see a few fully opened flowers on arrival. Always gently debud (remove) these open flowers first. Removing the dominant, open blooms redirects the stem's energy and encourages the remaining tight buds to open beautifully.
• Clean and Snip: Give the stems a clean, diagonal snip with sharp shears to maximize water uptake.
• Strip the Foliage: Strip any lower foliage or thorns that would sit beneath the water line to prevent bacterial growth.
• Hydrate and Condition: Plunge the stems straight into deep, clean water conditioned with professional flower food. See all our conditioning products here.
• Rest: Keep them wrapped in their greaseproof paper in a cool, dark room for a few hours to hydrate fully before styling. Always keep them away from direct heat, bright sunlight, or drafts to prevent premature opening.

Locally Grown Wholesale Roses for Weddings & Events

The Vanessa Bell rose is a dream choice for wedding florists and event designers seeking that authentic, airy English-country-garden aesthetic. Because the semi-double blooms open with a soft, delicate lightness rather than a heavy, dense form, they add beautiful texture and movement to bridal bouquets and wild, asymmetric centerpieces. Their pale primrose-to-cream coloration makes them incredibly versatile, blending effortlessly with crisp whites, soft peach tones, and sage green foliages. Grown sustainably right here in the UK, they offer an exquisite, freshly picked charm that standard imported roses simply cannot replicate.
