The Our Lady of Fatima Rose was named to commemorate the Platinum celebrations of the school and to honour Sr Catherina, a long-serving Dominican Sister who dedicated many years of service.
Its gentle fragrance reflects her quiet, steady presence—always there, yet never overpowering. The soft, warm colouring was chosen to represent what she cherished most: the renewal of each academic year and the beautiful South African sunrises over the Indian Ocean.
This dense, hip-high bush produces small, shapely buds in a deep apricot tone that intensifies to a brighter orange along the petal edges. The blooms are carried in tight clusters on sturdy stems, creating a continuous and highly decorative display throughout the long flowering season.
