Roses of Sawrey Botanical Soy Candle

An old cottage garden in full flower, caught just before the rain.

Roses of Sawrey is soft and green-stemmed rather than sweet — garden roses with the leaves still on them, over a little damp earth. It is the gentlest scent in the collection, and the one people ask about.

A large 380g botanical soy candle, hand-poured in Sheffield by Agnes + Cat, named for the Lake District and finished with a printed wrap. Around 45 hours of burning. Vegan and paraffin-free, with a cotton wick.

Why we love it
It is a proper big candle — the kind you light on a Friday and are still enjoying the following weekend.

Lovely for
Sitting rooms, a thank-you gift, and anyone who keeps flowers in the house.
