Press Release: Discover the Blooms Named After Famous Icons
The Royal Horticultural Society has unveiled a delightful new addition to the gardening world: ‘Catherine’s Rose,’ a coral-pink flower named after Kate Middleton, with proceeds supporting cancer patients. While this particular rose isn’t available in the U.S., it has prompted a deeper look into other celebrity-named blooms that garden enthusiasts can enjoy.
A vast array of these flowers is primarily roses, but the list also features peonies, dahlias, and more. Among the standout varieties are the Ingrid Bergman Rose, celebrated for its luscious red petals and fragrance, and the Sarah Bernhardt Peony, distinguished by its exquisite pale pink blossoms reminiscent of cherry flowers. The Barbra Streisand Rose showcases citrus-scented lavender blooms, while the Julia Child Rose features elegant yellow petals that emit a charming licorice-clove aroma.
Clematis ‘Elizabeth,’ named in honor of Queen Elizabeth II, is another notable entry, boasting vigorous mauve-pink blooms and attracting butterflies. Unique to the list is the Frida Kahlo Rose, a vibrant coral-red bloom that deepens in color, reflecting Kahlo’s artistic spirit.
For those interested in more unconventional floral choices, the Nepenthes ‘Helen,’ named after actress Helen Mirren, is a carnivorous plant that adds a touch of the exotic, along with its striking pitcher shape.
These floral tributes to iconic figures promise to brighten gardens while paying homage to their namesakes. Whether you’re planting for aesthetics, fragrance, or a touch of celebrity glamour, these blooms provide an opportunity to bring a piece of history and recognition into your gardening space.
