James Crichton, Regional Director Middle East & Africa, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars

“Spectre Rose is a shining example of the extraordinary possibilities available to our clients in Abu Dhabi through the Rolls-Royce Bespoke programme. Commissioned via the Private Office Dubai, this motor car reflects the deep personal connection our clients seek when creating something truly unique. It truly showcases how our local patrons can turn cherished emotions into a beautifully crafted reality.”

Tarek Moataz, General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Abu Dhabi

Rolls-Royce presents Spectre Rose, a singular expression of Bespoke craftsmanship, commissioned through the Rolls-Royce Private Office Dubai.

The commission was created at the request of a prominent Middle Eastern client through Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Abu Dhabi, in honour of her beloved daughter. Her brief to the Bespoke Collective was to use an ‘English Rose’ – her favourite flower – to symbolise beauty, heritage and family. The inspiration for the design came from the English Princess Rose, a flower whose name and character subtly echo the sentiment of the commission. The rose’s colour – a delicate pink – is also the favourite colour of the commissioning client’s daughter. Each green leaf on the embroidered stem represents a family member, adding an intimate and purposeful gesture to the design.”

“Designing Spectre Rose was deeply personal, with every bespoke element crafted to tell a meaningful story. From my first inspiring conversation with our client, I knew we were creating a truly unique car – one that reflects a beautiful bond between mother and daughter and carry profound significance. At the Private Office Dubai, we take the time to listen closely as our clients share their memories and personal meanings, allowing us to enrich the design process and bring their stories to life through every detail.”

Bespoke Rose Embroidery

All four headrests and the rear seat waterfall bear the Bespoke rose motif that gives the motor car its name and identity. The embroidery was developed through a close collaboration between a dedicated Bespoke Designer, based at Private Office Dubai, and a Bespoke embroidery artisan, based at the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood.

The artisan created a new technique that blends two shades of pink thread using a satin stitch. This method creates a subtle gradient, where a darker pink fades gently to a lighter hue at the petal edges. The flower head is rendered with a higher stitch density than usual to enhance its prominence, achieving a sculptural, three-dimensional effect. In contrast, the stem and leaves are stitched in a flatter tatami technique, using thread angles to shape and shade the design without drawing attention away from the rose itself.

A Canvas for Bespoke

Spectre Rose is finished in brilliant Arctic White, accentuated by a single Coachline hand-painted in vibrant Peony Pink; the same shade has been selected for the pinstripes on the 23-inch forged seven-spoke wheels and their body-coloured centres.

The interior continues the sharp, high-contrast theme, with leather upholstered seats in Grace White with complements of Black and Peony Pink seat inserts, contrast stitching and detailing. High-gloss Piano White veneer, Black carpets, and a Black central armrest complete the clean, monochromatic effect.
