The Epworth Rose is a tribute to the esteemed Epworth School, founded in 1898 in Pietermaritzburg. Much like the school’s tradition of developing confident, well-rounded individuals, this rose reflects a richness of character and refined elegance.
Its blooms display an exceptional colour combination, with an ivory base that deepens toward the centre and is overlaid with a vivid carmine red. This strong contrast brings each flower to life, with the intensity of the red shifting subtly through the seasons, giving the rose a constantly evolving beauty.
Beyond its striking appearance, the Epworth Rose is also eco-friendly and highly practical in the garden. It is naturally resistant to fungal diseases and requires very little maintenance. The plant forms a neat, shoulder-high shrub and produces an abundance of perfectly shaped blooms throughout its growing cycle.
