The Juliet Rose is not only considered to be one of the rarest flowers in the world, but it's also the rarest rose in the world because it took 15 years for rose breeder David Austin to cultivate the flower in England. Additionally, it cost him a whopping $4.3 million to do so. By Ashley Sophia.
Rosa 'Juliet', also known as the Juliet rose or Sweet Juliet, is a popular English shrub rose developed by David Austin, known for its soft apricot-colored, tightly petaled blooms and mild tea-like fragrance. It is a vigorous, upright shrub that blooms repeatedly from late spring to fall and is excellent for cutting and floral arrangements. The rose thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and is suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 5a-9b.
