Juliet Rose: Worth £10 million!

A rose by any other name might smell as sweet, but would it fetch as high a price-tag? This bloom is very rare in the modern world and back in 2006 one grower sold his bloom for a staggering $15.8 million (c. £10 million) after harvesting it for as long as 15 years.


The Juliet Rose comes from the David Austin Rose family which begins as a cupped, apricot head only to open completely flat revealing its soft peachy centre.

Reliable, disease resistant and delightfully fragrant, English Rose 'Sweet Juliet' (Ausleap) is a beautiful shrub rose from David Austin, one of the most popular of the English roses in the UK.
