Carl Bennett, Head of Breeding, shares insight into their process:

“The patience of perfection defines our breeding process. We don’t just create roses; we cultivate living works of art. Each variety represents years of meticulous selection, where we look beyond mere appearance to capture what Mr. Austin always called the ‘grace and charm’ — a unique character that transforms a beautiful flower into an extraordinary experience.”

Enid and Phoebe are now available for pre-order through DVFlora. Don’t miss the chance to offer your clients something truly extraordinary.

The name meaning behind Enid is ‘Spirit; Life; Purity’. This resonates well with her cream and ivory tones. 

A mesmerizing, attractive rose who exudes confidence and strength. She unfurls at her own pace, but once in full bloom, her presence is undeniable, lasting and profound in the vase. A true cream with accents of pistachio green with a core green stamen at her centre. Her fragrance begins softly, with a delicate rose perfume, laced with a subtle hint of myrrh. At first, it is light, but as her blooms open fully, the scent deepens, unfolding like the rose herself. 

Color:  Cream
Scent:  Light. A soft rosy perfume with a delicate hint of myrrh
Opening Time:  Up to 4 days to open bloom

Phoebe’s name means ‘Radiant; Bright; Shining one’ which reflects in her glowing pink and coral coloring. 

Phoebe is a vision of quiet beauty, but as she blossoms, she confidently reveals a captivating rosette of richly colored petals. Her radiant elegant color can be described as Flamingo pink. At her heart, a warm coral hue pulses, which gently transitions from apricot orange to a soft, natural pink. A light to moderate fruity floral fragrance infused with soft violet notes and a touch of red apple.
