❥ 9 MAY 2025 | Kensington Palace released a statement of support for the Royal Horticultural Society, which announced 'Catherine's Rose', named after the Princess of Wales to celebrate the healing power of nature and the role spending time outdoors plays in supporting our mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing.
Funds from the sale of Catherine’s Rose will go to The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity to help The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust establish a training programme for UK clinical teams across the country to give cancer patients a prehabilitation and rehabilitation programme.
The rose has subtle coral-pink blooms and a rich perfume with hints of Turkish Delight and mango. It is said to thrive in a mixed border, as a hedge, in a large container or in a rose bed.
The statement released via KP socials said :
Spending time in nature has always been a source of comfort and strength. Gardens and green spaces provide not only beauty and joy, but also vital support for our mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing.
Today the Royal Horticultural Society are announcing a new Rose, “Catherine’s Rose”, grown by Harkness Roses. The proceeds from this rose will support The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, helping patients across the country live well with, and beyond, cancer 🌹
