I think they're both great. And I think your reasoning behind Ivy is really lovely, even if it's not my first thought. Ivy (the plant) has a good associations for me but I know some people hate it. Anyway Ivy as a name is lively and smart, a bit subdued and a bit sharp. I like it. It's maybe more distinctive than Rose, but Rose is beautiful too. Rose is lush and sweet but still has an edge. It's so simple. I honestly can't choose between them, I think either would be awesome.
I also like all your middle names! Ivy Isabelle is cool and the double 'i' works because it's a different sound. Ivy Cecilia is great, I love Cecilia and Ivy grounds it really well. Ivy Madeleine is beautiful too.
So yeah, you don't need suggestions because you have great options already, but I'm gonna give you some for the fun of it. Ivy Clare was my first thought for middle names but it doesn't really fit what you want. Sorry for any repeats, in a bit of a hurry. How about:
Ivy Magdalen (very slight variation, I know)
Ivy Johanna
Ivy Theodora
Ivy Elinor
Ivy Carol
Ivy Marion
Ivy Catherine
Ivy Josephine
Ivy Cornelia
Ivy Kathleen
Ivy Marguerite
Ivy Elfriede
Ivy Eluned
Ivy Constance
Ivy Antonia
Ivy Keturah
Ivy Georgia
Ivy Amabel
Ivy Simone
Ivy Evangeline
Ivy Frances
Ivy Nolwenn
Ivy Clemence
Ivy Helen
