Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, is popular and a favorite not only because of her beauty Icons and acting talent but also regarded highly because of her greatness as an actress as evidenced by her long list of Hollywood movies during her era. As an epitome of success, she ranks number seven on the American Film Institute on its Female Legend List, appointed as Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1999 and was inducted in 2007 into the California Hall Of Fame. Despite her equally long list of eight marriages and alcohol problems, she continued to outlive, outlast and withstand the rise of many young and beautiful stars of the younger generations. For such reasons and with all due respect, it is only fitting that an equally deep pink hybrid tea rose which is a symbol of ultimate femininity be named in her honor. Like its namesake, the rose is such a scene-stealer and show-stopper with its shocking deep pink petals with smoky edges and slightly spicy fragrance and believed to be the finest of all pink roses.

Norma Jean Mortensen or Marilyn Monroe to Hollywood began as a model before eventually becoming an actress. In 1999, she was ranked as the number six personality in the American Film Institute, been awarded and nominated by award-giving bodies such as the Golden Globe, Crystal Star, BAFTA and among others. Despite her several failed marital affairs, rumors of having relationships with the late President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert Kennedy, Marlon Brando and among others and death due to drug overdose, she is often considered as a pop and cultural icon. For what she is worth to the people her generation, a creamy apricot hybrid tea rose was named after her. The rose which is a tribute to the blond bombshell, is commensurately beautiful having 30 apricot-colored petals with a light fragrance. Like her namesake who rose from poverty and from playing mediocre roles in Hollywood films to stardom and wealth, the flower is gifted with natural ability to resist diseases that threaten to dim its beauty just like her counterpart who stood the challenges in her life.
