Overview
- The Royal Horticultural Society has named a new rose, 'Catherine’s Rose,' after the Princess of Wales to highlight nature's role in mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.
- Sales of the rose will contribute £5 per plant to The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity to fund a nationwide training program for clinical teams in cancer care.
- The floribunda rose, bred by Harkness Roses, features coral-pink blooms with a rich scent of Turkish Delight and mango, and is designed to thrive in various garden settings.
- The initiative connects the Princess's personal cancer journey, including her remission in early 2025, with her advocacy for the restorative power of nature.
- Pre-orders for the limited first run of 15,000 plants are now open, with delivery set for Autumn 2025 and additional availability planned for 2026.
