Description
Celebrate the legacy of a sporting hero with a rose that tells a story. The Rob Burrow CBE Rose is a stunning variety. Its soft yellow blooms are tinged with apricot centres and scent, bringing warmth and brightness to borders, beds or patio pots.
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!
This robust variety has been expertly selected for UK gardens. Its bushy, upright growth reaches around 90cm in height and 60cm in width, flowering generously through summer and into autumn. High disease resistance and healthy foliage mean its low-maintenance yet high-impact.
Former Leeds Rhinos scrum-half Rob Burrow CBE 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.
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.
