Princess Kate's Coral-Pink Rose Unveiled: A Symbol of Hope
New Blossom Celebrates Honorees - Unveiling of a commemorative rose dedicated to them
Get your green thumbs ready, folks! The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has dropped some major news - they've named a brand-new coral-pink Floribunda rose after the lovely Princess of Wales, lovingly dubbed "Catherine's Rose." This radiant bloom is more than just a pretty face; it's a tribute to Kate's passion for the healing power of nature and a fantastic way to support a cancer charity close to her heart.
The delectable "Catherine’s Rose," brought to life by Harkness Roses, is bound to turn heads with its powerful Turkish honey and mango-scented fragrance. And here's the cherry on top: every rose bush sold contributes a whopping £5 to the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity! That's right; this beautiful flower is a perfect potion for supporting those battling cancer.
So, grab your collective rosy-fingers - the "Catherine's Rose" is now available for pre-order, with deliveries expected in autumn 2025. A limited edition of 15,000 specimens will be up for grabs, priced at a steal of £29.99 (approx. €35.35) for bare-root plants or £34.99 (approx. €41.24) for potted plants. But wait, there's more - these funds will go towards establishing a special training program for clinical teams across the country focused on prehabilitation and rehabilitation techniques, ultimately improving patient care for those with cancer.
Hope Blooms in Difficult Times
Since making her cancer diagnosis public in March 2024, our beloved Princess Kate has undergone treatment and chemotherapy at the esteemed Royal Marsden Hospital. She announced in September last year that her treatment was complete, and, in January, she surprised the hospital with a visit to announce that she was in remission.
These collected donations will help set in motion a unique training program for clinical teams across the nation. According to the RHS, this specialized program will focus on prehabilitation and rehabilitation techniques aimed at empowering patients to live healthily with and after cancer.
Nature: A Source of Strength and Comfort
The "Catherine's Rose" honors Kate's profound connection to nature, which provided her with resilience and solace during her healing journey. She's often shared her belief that spending time in nature contributes to her overall well-being.
In a heartfelt post last year, she emphasized the healing power of nature, mentioning:
In true Kate fashion, she even inaugurated new gardens at the Natural History Museum amidst ongoing chemotherapy treatments, proving her unwavering dedication to these causes.
