The ‘Natalie Douglas’ rose reflects the beauty, resilience, and strength of Natalie Douglas Kotze, a breast cancer survivor diagnosed at just 27 years old in 2015. Since then, she has become a devoted mother of two and established the Natalie Diana Douglas Kotze Cancer Foundation, dedicated to raising awareness, inspiring hope, and supporting young people from all backgrounds affected by cancer.
This powerful rose produces large, fully double blooms carried singly on long, strong, upright stems. The plant is covered in abundant, healthy foliage, allowing for frequent cutting of its long-stemmed flowers.
The blooms display a clean pink colour and a strong, pleasing fragrance. When viewed in a vase, the dense petal structure gradually unfolds, revealing its full beauty over time.
The plant is vigorous and versatile, growing up to 2 m tall. It works well as a focal point in flower or rose beds, and can also be used as a flowering screen against walls or fences.
