We created the Hunts Blind Centenary Rose to celebrate the 100th year of a local charity dedicated to helping visually impaired and blind individuals.

There are some gorgeous colours in this rose. Early in the season it is dominated by yellow, lemon and gold, in the late season the gold is much richer and can include an undertone of pink. Flowers are shaped with an elegant high centre, the outer petal forming almost perfect concentric circles. Outstanding health, tough dark green leaves, a bushy plant and a strong perfume. Perfect for beds, borders, and large patio containers, it grows to approximately 80cm tall.

£2.50 from every rose sold will be donated to Huntingdonshire Society for the Blind (Registered Charity No. 202573). The Rose, which has been bred by Philip Harkness, was chosen for its strong fragrance, few thorns and beautiful golden yellow blooms that are a perfect match for the charity’s branding. Thanks to the strong fragrance and low thorn count of this rose, it can be enjoyed by those who are partially sighted or blind.

The Hunts Blind Centenary Rose is the latest in our range of new rose launches for this year. We love to work with charities and organisations to help them raise awareness and funds too for their charitable causes.

Hunts Blind are an independent registered charity supporting the old county of Huntingdonshire residents of all ages who are experiencing sight loss. They provide a wide range of activities and services tailored to each individual, their carer and family.

The team of outreach workers, social events coordinators, technical support and volunteers are committed to providing members with support and advice.
