“The Catherine Rose—A tribute with a deeper meaning…” 🌹👑 A new rose, named in honor of the Princess, is blooming with vibrant color and a hidden connection to history. Discover the mystery behind this stunning flower and its royal ties in the article below 👇
A newly cultivated coral-pink rose has been named *The Catherine Rose* in honor of the Princess of Wales. This continues the tradition of naming roses after British royals, as was done with Princess Diana. In Britain, the term “English rose” has long described a woman of beauty and grace
This tradition traces back to medieval times, when white roses symbolized the Virgin Mary and red roses represented courage and loyalty. Historically, the red rose stood for the House of Lancaster and the white for the House of York—whose rivalry sparked the Wars of the Roses. Their union came through Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, remembered as the true White Rose.
Prized for its vibrant color and mango-like scent, the rose also supports charity. A portion of proceeds benefits The Royal Marsden, founded in 1851 by W. Marsden after losing his wife to the illness now shared by the Princess. As a patron, she has visited the hospital several times since her remission.
