About Dainty Bess Potted Rose Bush

Dainty Bess is a uniquely elegant single-petaled Hybrid Tea rose, beloved for its refined simplicity and vintage charm. Each delicate bloom features five soft pink petals with slightly ruffled edges and a dramatic cluster of deep maroon stamens at the center, giving it a poppy-like appearance. Lightly fragrant and graceful, Dainty Bess blooms in flushes throughout the season on tall, upright canes with glossy green foliage. First introduced in 1925, she remains a timeless favorite for rose collectors and cottage gardens alike.
