Family Rosaceae

The Rosa 'Vanessa Bell', a David Austin English rose, is an elegant variety renowned for its semi-double, soft yellow flowers subtly nuanced with cream, sometimes enhanced with pink reflections at the heart. Its bushy, dense, and well-balanced habit is perfect for flowerbeds, borders, or as a stand-alone plant. Its repeat flowering, abundant from early summer until autumn, is accompanied by a refined fragrance with notes of green tea, honey, and lemon. The dark green, healthy, and slightly glossy foliage highlights the delicacy of its flowers while offering good disease resistance. Highly appreciated for its delicate charm and ease of cultivation, it attracts pollinators and brings softness and luminosity to the garden.
