Alongside the many clothing, accessory and home decor items that have been inspired by the release of Disney's live-action retelling of Beauty and the Beast is one standout officially licensed product—a real, two-color rose bush.
As part of its first licensed live plant deal, Disney is selling 'Meadow Valley Disney's Beauty and the Beast 2-in-1 Roses.' This product is not just a two-colored bouquet, but an actual rose bush that will grow both red and yellow roses from the same plant. The colors of the rose bush are being branded as movie tie-ins, with the yellow roses reminding of Belle's beautiful ballgown and the red roses matching the color of the magical enchanted rose.
Disney's Beauty and the Beast 2-in-1 Roses are being sold through its partnership with HSN.
