Did you know
- Dainty Bess is one of the most celebrated single-petaled hybrid tea roses ever bred.
- It was introduced in 1925 by William Archer and won the Royal National Rose Society Gold Medal.
- The five soft pink petals surround prominent maroon-colored stamens, creating a striking contrast.
- Unlike most hybrid teas which are fully double, Dainty Bess has only five petals per bloom.
- It has a light, sweet tea rose fragrance that is subtler than many modern hybrid tea roses.
