Rose - Vanessa Bell

Common Name:
Vanessa Bell Rose

Description:
The Vanessa Bell Rose (Rosa ‘Vanessa Bell’) is an exquisite David Austin English Rose, admired for its soft yellow, cupped blooms with a delicate pink blush and a strong tea and lemon fragrance. This repeat-flowering variety produces clusters of medium-sized, fully double flowers from spring through autumn, making it a standout in garden beds, borders, and pots. With a graceful, arching growth habit and dark green, disease-resistant foliage, Vanessa Bell thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring full sun and well-drained soil. Regular feeding, watering, and deadheading will encourage continuous flowering. Its romantic colour, elegant shape, and intoxicating scent make it a superb choice for cottage gardens and floral arrangements.
