Low Growing and Patio Rose - Innocence
![]() An eyecatching bushy patio rose of great charm. The salmon
apricot flowers have a touch of gold at the base making the whole
plant sparkle. There is an abundance of bloom throughout the
summer. The foliage is medium green and glossy, the leaves being
small in keeping with the size of the semi double flowers.
Following the tragedy at Dunblane Primary School in March 1996
the parents of the sixteen children who were killed have named
this Rose in their memory. The rose captures perfectly the
colour, joy, exuberance, vulnerability and innocence that all
children bring into our lives. The Children's rose was chosen to
compliment that selected by the family of their much loved
teacher, Mrs Gwen Mayor. The parents' wish is also that other
children and their families should benefit from the sale of
'INNOCENCE' and for that reason they have chosen a charity which
brings comfort and hope to children who are terminally ill. The
Children's Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) provides care and
support for 200 children and their families each year through
Rachel House in Kinross, Scotland's first children's hospice. It
also offers support to other families who have suffered the loss
of a child through terminal illness. Therefore, a donation of
£1.50 for each rose sold will be made to CHAS. Parentage:
