Supporting and connecting rural women for 100 years
The brand new ‘Rural Women’ rose has been created especially to celebrate our centennial year. It is a superbly fragrant floribunda, with clusters of blooms in soft lilac hues, which repeat flowers above mid-green foliage. It’s an easy care, compact growing plant that will grow to a height of approx. 1.1m. Bred by award winning rose breeder Bob Matthews from Matthews Nurseries Ltd of Whanganui.
The team at Matthews Nurseries is currently sending out the pre-ordered roses, however may still have some available. If you are still interested in buying a rose, please get in touch with the team at enquiries@ruralwomennz.nz
