Description
The 'Remembrance' Rose is a poignant gift for someone special. Named several years ago for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, this cheery rose has a colour evocative of the Flanders poppy.
A bright scarlet red. It is widely planted in the continental war graves, where it has proved reliable and has a long flowering period and neat compact habit. A good rose to add a bright spark of colour. The leaf is glossy and mid green.
This rose was selected by the commission due to its low growing nature, so the blooms wouldn't obscure the inscriptions on the graves, while also flowering for a long period.
Launched at the Chelsea Flower Show in 1992, with thousands of bushes shipped to the battlefield cemeteries of Europe, North Africa and elsewhere that autumn.
Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot. Please note at certain times of the year this variety may be supplied in a 4L pot.
We always endeavour to provide beautifully formed plants; however, our roses will naturally start to lose their leaves from October to prepare for the colder months. Do not worry though, as they will flourish once again with leaves and buds in the spring. Please make sure you consider the season when purchasing our remarkable roses for yourself or loved ones.
