Imagine a garden filled with beautifully scented flowers. But not being able to smell them. This is the reality for many people living with Parkinson’s.
That’s why we’re proud to launch our scentless flagship Rose, in partnership with Harkness Roses, called Parkinson’s Resilience.
Anosmia is when your sense of smell becomes weaker, or you aren’t able to smell anymore. It can be a common early symptom of Parkinson’s, and some people experience it years before they’re diagnosed. And we hope to raise much needed awareness of this symptom through our rose that will feature at our RHS Chelsea Flower Show Garden - Parkinson’s UK: A Garden for Every Parkinson’s Journey, which is sponsored by Project Giving Back.
This beautiful rose has a mix of shades from the original salmon pink to hints of creamy amber with a constant dark red eye in the centre.
We’re incredibly grateful to Harkness Roses for giving us our rose, and for donating £5 of every sale to us. £5 could fund a smell test kit, providing researchers with data to identify the earliest signs of Parkinson’s and develop new treatments that could one day slow or stop the condition.
We’d also like to say thank you to everyone who helped choose our rose name. Over 3,000 of you voted to name this special flower. 🌹
