The Juliet Rose, unlike any ordinary rose, is a masterpiece of floral engineering. It was introduced to the world by renowned British horticulturist David Austin in 2006. It took 15 years of painstaking effort to create this rare and exquisite flower. The rose is a result of a delicate cross breeding process that made it not only rare but also stunningly beautiful. Its large, creamy petals and distinctive fragrance have captivated floral enthusiasts worldwide.

The price tag for a Juliet Rose is astounding, reaching up to a staggering 90 crore rupees in 2006 when it was first sold. The rose’s rarity and the labor-intensive process involved in its creation contribute to its sky-high value. Unlike most roses that begin to wilt after a few days, the Juliet Rose maintains its freshness and vibrancy for as long as three years, making it even more special. Its enduring beauty has earned it the title of the most expensive rose in the world, even surpassing diamonds in terms of cost.

Though the Juliet Rose holds the top spot for luxury, it isn’t the only expensive flower to exist. The Sri Lankan Kadupula, for example, is another rare flower, found only in Sri Lanka and blooming exclusively at night. However, no flower has yet rivaled the Juliet Rose in both price and prestige.

While gifting a rose remains a cherished tradition, some are willing to invest much more for a truly one-of-a-kind flower, making the Juliet Rose the ultimate symbol of love and rarity.
