This remarkable rosé, Bellingham Berry Bush Rose, takes its name from the graceful berry bushes that flourish in Bellingham's majestic gardens. These gardens were the jewel in the crown of the founding brothers, and today, the Bellingham Berry Bush Rose garden remains a living tribute to their legacy.
