St Mary MacKillop Winter Rose
This Swane's rose is named to honour the co-founder of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Mary MacKillop, who was canonized and made a saint in 2010. Blooms of a soft, seashell-pink edged with a deeper rose pink on the outer petals are formed over a longer period. The flowers are produced both singly and in small clusters, making this an excellent rose for bedding and borders. Due to excellent garden performance, this rose is still being cultivated more than 20 years after its release.
