Introducing The Elton John AIDS Foundation Rose - an exquisite Hybrid Tea rose that takes centre stage in your garden with a performance worthy of its namesake! Delivering dazzling displays of fragrance and colour from June to November, this charity rose was launched at the 2025 RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
This potted rose is beautifully presented by an expert member of our nursery team, gift wrapped in a brown hessian bag that fits neatly around the pot before being finished with an elegant green satin bow. A ready-made gift from the moment it arrives! With the wrapping already done to a professional standard, you needn't lift a finger!
Each bloom opens with a pearly pink hue, gradually intensifying to a vibrant cherry blossom as the season progresses - a dynamic transformation that keeps your garden looking fresh. With up to seven cupped blooms per cluster and 50 petals per flower, it's a floral encore that never disappoints.
But this rose isn't just about looks. It exudes a drawing aroma, blending notes of melon, rose, and a hint of citronella - a scent that lingers like a memorable melody. The glossy dark green foliage not only complements the blooms but also boasts excellent disease resistance, ensuring a healthy, vibrant plant throughout the season, and for years to come.
Standing at 1 metre tall and spreading up to 80 cm, The Elton John AIDS Foundation Rose is versatile for beds, borders, or large patio containers. Its robust, bushy growth habit makes it a reliable performer, whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out.
For every rose sold, Harkness Roses will donate £5 to the Elton John AIDS Foundation from 1 May 2025 - 31 December 2029, supporting their vital work in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Supplied as a gift wrapped, established rose in a 4 litre pot, wrapped in brown hessian with a green bow, ready to plant or gift.
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.
