The most expensive rose in the world
Valentine’s Week begins with Rose Day, a special occasion when people express their feelings through roses.
Many spend hours finding the perfect rose to convey their emotions. While rose prices surge during this time, one particular rose remains expensive throughout the year, the Juliet Rose.
Known as the world’s most expensive rose, this extraordinary flower can cost up to ₹90 crores, making it a symbol of luxury and exclusivity.
Juliet Rose was introduced to the world in 2006 by renowned British rose breeder David Austin.
Unlike ordinary roses, this rare flower was not found in nature but was carefully cultivated over 15 years.
David Austin dedicated £3 million (approximately $5 million) to develop this exquisite apricot-hued hybrid by crossbreeding several varieties.
The outcome was a rose unlike any other—one that captivated the world with its beauty and rarity.
Several factors contribute to Juliet Rose’s astonishing price:
Extensive Research and Breeding: The rose took 15 years to develop, requiring immense dedication and investment.
Unique Characteristics: Unlike traditional roses, Juliet Rose has voluminous petals that transition from soft peach to warm apricot, creating an elegant ombré effect.
Exclusivity and Rarity: This rose is difficult to cultivate, requiring special care and precise conditions. Its rarity increases its value.
Luxury Appeal: Juliet Rose is highly sought after for grand occasions, especially luxurious weddings, where it is considered a symbol of timeless romance.
In 2006, David Austin sold this remarkable bloom for £10 million (approximately ₹90 crores), making it the most expensive rose ever recorded.
Beyond its striking appearance, Juliet Rose is also known for its delicate fragrance.
Unlike strong floral scents, it carries a subtle tea-like aroma, adding to its refined charm. Described as a “style chameleon,” this rose pairs beautifully with soft chalky blues and Nordic greys, enhancing its classic appeal.
Even the world’s richest individuals think twice before purchasing Juliet Rose due to its high cost.
Unlike regular roses, it is not widely available and requires meticulous cultivation.
As Valentine’s Week unfolds, roses symbolize love and passion, but Juliet Rose stands apart, not just as a flower but as a masterpiece of botanical artistry.
