The York Minster Rose

The York Minster Rose was launched at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2011 with a presentation to HRH The Duke of York and Princess Beatrice. The Princess seemed particularly taken with the scent of the rose, declaring 'I love it.' The rose also featured in this year's award-winning Welcome to Yorkshire garden, The Art of Yorkshire.

The rose was developed by Harkness Roses of Hitchin (originally founded in North Yorkshire) and funds raised from sales will help to restore and preserve York Minster for future generations. Orders may be placed with Harkness Roses (www.roses.co.uk or 0845 3313143) or by downloading a Rose Order Form below.

NEWSFLASH: Limited supplies of the rose are now available to buy in the Minster Shop.

In celebration of our new rose, we are also pleased to announce the York Minster Rose Dinner 2012 to be held in the nave of the Minster on June 8th. See Events for further details.
