A remarkably strong, healthy, reliable, and simply charming rose that will turn heads in any garden.
‘The Rob Burrow MND’ rose boasts impressively bushy and upright foliage, which is dense, glossy and grows in a dark shade of green. This foliage acts as an ideal backdrop for the show-stopping flowers to grasp the attention.
Green-tinged buds first form in spring, before opening in formations of up to 40 soft yellow petals, which darken moving inwards to a golden amber with the occasional pink hue at the centre.
Not just a treat for the eyes, these blooms also produce a breathtaking myrrh scent to please the senses, without overpowering the perfumes of any other nearby flowers.
Supplied as a bare root rose, this variety will catch the eye whether planted in beds, borders, or even in large patio pots.
Former Leeds Rhinos scrum-half Rob Burrow MBE was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in December 2019, just two years after ending his playing career by captaining Leeds to a record-extending eighth Super League Grand Final. MND is a disease suffered by an estimated 5,000 adults in the UK, with six people being diagnosed on average every day.
Rob soon became a patron of the MND Association, a charity focussed on improving access to care, funding research, and campaigning for people living with, or affect by, MND, with Rob leading extraordinary fund and awareness-raising efforts. In June 2024, Rob sadly died, four and a half years after his initial diagnosis.
We are proud to donate £2.50p from the sale of each rose to the MND Association, a registered charity in England and Wales (charity number 294354).
