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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-preservation) 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.
