I love
Jessamine.
The county next to mine is
Jessamine. We pronounce it -min here. When pronounced -mine it just sounds awkward to me.
I don't think
Jessamine would be confused with
Jasmine. Or, rather, I can't see how it would be. They sound completely different and though they contain the same letters, they are different enough visually that I don't think it would be an issue.
I think
Jessamine Rose is pretty. It's not terribly obvious that both of them are flower names. I know for me it doesn't even register that
Rose is a flower when I see or hear the name. And
Jessamine doesn't seem to be very well known.
Jessie is a rather common nickname. I know about eleven, all Jessicas.
