The Duke of Edinburgh commemorative rose bred by Harkness Roses has been officially named in memory of the Queen’s husband of 73 years, and was launched to mark his centenary. Attractive, double flowers gathered in large clusters on long stems with healthy leaves are perfect as vase flowers. It is a shrub of medium size, suitable for rose beds or in combination with other perennials. Without a doubt, this is a rose you will be enchanted by.
The Duke of Edinburgh, an inspirational and committed champion of young people, established The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award 65 years ago.
