The ‘Ella’ rose joins other varieties within David Austin’s cut rose collection, which have featured in previous royal weddings. Alexandra Farms currently grows 16 of David Austin’s fresh cut varieties at the farm.
Ella’s creamy, ivory petals unfurl into a ruffled bloom with a central cluster of golden stamens. Her simplicity and fresh scent with notes of citrus and cucumber make her a perfect choice for a wedding.
“We are delighted to name our new cut rose Ella in honor of Lady Gabriella’s marriage to Thomas Kingston,” said David J C Austin, Managing Director of David Austin Roses. “Lady Gabriella’s bouquet is the first bridal bouquet to feature the new Ella rose, which is a tremendous honor for us all. We hope this will be the first of many weddings where Ella’s beauty will be admired and loved. My father would be extremely proud to see his life’s work bringing great joy to such a special and momentous occasion.”
