April & Ashley Introduce The Most Beautiful™ Rose

— February 18, 2026 — Marketing
The luxury rose producer April & Ashley recently introduced The Most Beautiful™ rose, a new variety developed in partnership with global breeder Roses Forever and inspired by Prince's iconic song 'The Most Beautiful Girl in the World,' which was written for his wife Mayte Garcia as a tribute to women everywhere.

The Most Beautiful™ rose bush features soft-pink blossoms with a full, classic form and strong growing performance. Blooming reliably into autumn, this variety is suitable for both garden planting and indoor bouquets.

Mayte Garcia participated in a Rose Baptism event in Las Vegas to celebrate the launch, and a portion of the proceeds from each The Most Beautiful™ rose sold went to supporting her Live 4 Love Charities, which focuses on music and arts education.
