'Stems of Hope' is a glorious new Floribunda rose, created in proud partnership with DKMS - the UK's largest blood stem cell donor register. This rose carries real meaning, and the repeat-flowering beauty is undeniable!
From June right through to November, 'Stems of Hope' puts on a breathtaking display, with generous clusters of nine or more brilliant scarlet blooms - each one opening up to a full 8cm across with twenty strong, beautifully structured petals.
These are bold, cheerful and resilient, holding their colour and form come sun, rain or wind. You'll get a relentless, joyful sea of scarlet that brightens every corner of the garden from the height of summer right into the mellowing days of autumn.
The glossy, bushy green foliage provides a rich, lush backdrop for those vivid blooms, and shows excellent resistance to many common rose diseases.
At 60cm tall and 50cm wide, this is a compact Floribunda rose that suits a wide variety of garden settings. It will light up a dedicated rose bed, add a flash of colour to a mixed border and even thrives in patio containers.
Supplied as an established, freshly potted rose in a 4 litre pot, ready to plant.
We are proud to donate £5 from the sale of each Rose 'Stems of Hope' to the DKMS Foundation (registered charity number 1150056).
Message from the charity: 'Over one million people in the UK have joined a worldwide chain of hope for people with blood cancers and disorders - by signing up to the stem cell donor register with blood cancer charity DKMS. It is a quick and simple act, but one that means so much to those waiting to find a compatible stem cell donor match and have a second chance at life.
'Every 14 minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with blood cancer, so there is an urgent need for more people to sign up as potential donors - especially from UK ethnic minorities, who are currently underrepresented on the register.
'Blood cancer charity DKMS encourages more people to join the stem cell register, works to ensure everyone who needs a stem cell transplant has equal access to one, and conducts research focused on continually improving the survival and recovery rate of people with blood cancers or disorders. dkms.org.uk.'
