Caroline Victoria Rose
Hybrid Tea • Citrus-raspberry aroma • 3' tall x 2' wide • Created by Harkness
The Caroline Victoria Rose for the Arts has an impeccable geneology, combining the grace of 'Audrey Hepburn' with the fragrance of 'New Zealand'. Classic and elegant, Caroline Victoria is an exceptional hybrid tea with blooms of pure ivory to amber-blush, and a lingering perfume evocative of citrus and raspberry with subtle overtones of mint. Created in 2006 by world-renowned rose breeder Robert Harkness of Harkness Roses in England, Caroline Victoria offers repeat flowering and holds highest ratings for hardiness, disease resistance, and fragrance. This rose was commissioned as a perpetual commemoration of the life of artist Caroline Victoria Coldicutt, whose deep love for the arts inspired the founding of the Caroline Victoria Coldicutt Arts Foundation (CVCAF), a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting student artists in need.

Fortitude
Floribunda • Sweet rose scent • 3' tall x 3' wide • Created by B. Jalbert
True to its name, 'Fortitude' produces a strong bushy shrub and foliage with a healthy, glossy sheen. A profusion of rich satin pink flowers makes this rose a winner even in small-space gardens or patio containers. This frilly and fragrant rose is named for Brad Jalbert's Aunt Marie and her inspiring women's dragon boat team, Abreast In A Boat. A substantial portion of 'Fortitude" profits help defray the costs of keeping five dragonboats operational. Abreast In A Boat is the first dragonboat team of breast cancer survivors in the world. The organization has contributed to the improved recovery and emotional support of thousands of women world-wide.

SOS Children's Rose
Floribunda • Created by Ludwig's Roses
A substantial portion of the proceeds from this rose goes to support the SOS Children's Village here in BC. The rose itself is a unique and unusual blend of orange and yellow hues. The pretty apricot orange buds opens to golden-red with golden-yellow streaks, which age into a glowing blend of pinks. The plant is hardy, robust and produces roses in both clusters and single stems. This is a very special rose name for a special group, and is priced to support this valuable cause.
