In the days of monarchies and grand estates, it was queens—or perhaps the sweetheart of a 19th-century botanist—who had roses named in their honor. Today, that privilege often belongs to modern stars.

Celebrity Roses: From Barbra Streisand to Julia Child

The Barbra Streisand rose is a richly fragrant lavender-purple floribunda named for the legendary singer, who is also a passionate rose enthusiast. Equally charming is the Julia Child rose, a buttery-yellow floribunda that perfectly matches the warmth of the late chef’s personality and culinary legacy. These celebrity roses have become icons in their own right, cultivated in gardens around the world.

Pamela Anderson’s Garden and Rose-Petal Pickles

Roses aren’t only in gardens—they’re appearing in food, fashion, and lifestyle trends. Pamela Anderson, best known for her Hollywood career, is also a dedicated gardener. At her family estate on Vancouver Island, she grows heirloom vegetables and Yves Piaget roses, using rose hips to create homemade beauty oils.

She just officially launched Pamela’s Pickles, based on her family’s long pickling tradition. The twist? These pickles are infused with dried rose petals, blending tangy crunch with delicate floral notes. The venture, launched in collaboration with Flamingo Estate, also supports the California Wildlife Center— beauty and purpose can bloom together.

Roses in Fashion: Emma Stone and the Vintage Revival

Floral fashion is flourishing. Emma Stone, ambassador for Louis Vuitton, recently appeared in a campaign wearing an exquisitely embroidered dress covered in roses—an emblem of vintage romance with a modern edge. Designers are increasingly weaving rose motifs into clothing, accessories, and even footwear, tapping into a wider cultural return to craftsmanship.

Why Roses Are Making a Comeback

The revival of roses in fashion, gardening, and lifestyle isn’t accidental. Vintage silhouettes, embroidery, and gardening are no longer dismissed as “grandma hobbies” but embraced as creative, grounding pursuits.

Roses—often called the “queen of flowers” in both Western and Eastern traditions—symbolize a timeless, shared beauty. They connect us to nature, history, and craftsmanship in a way that feels grounding in a fast-paced, digital world.

Whether blooming in a celebrity’s garden, embroidered onto haute couture, or floating in a jar of pickles, roses are back in full bloom—and the world is noticing.
