There’s something quietly breathtaking about a white garden rose that hasn’t fully opened yet — that soft, spiral center still holding its secret. Bessie is that rose: creamy white, fragrant, and full-petaled in the classic garden rose tradition, arriving in a gracefully closed stage so she can unfurl on your timeline.
When your 12 stems arrive, trim an inch from each stem, strip foliage below the waterline, and nestle them into cool fresh water with flower food. Keep the cardboard wrap in place while they hydrate — it supports the blooms as they drink. Allow 24–48 hours in a cool room away from heat, direct sun, drafts, and ripening fruit. You’ll watch them open.
Natural variation in tone, petal count, and bloom size is part of what makes garden roses feel alive rather than manufactured. Plan to order at least two weeks ahead; three weeks for Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. Express shipping is $29, available on orders of $499 or more. All perishable sales are final.
Bessie rewards patience beautifully.
