IN STOCK FROM HARKNESS ROSES…THE ROB BURROW MND ROSE
The Rob Burrow MND Rose is strong, healthy, reliable, and utterly charming. As the buds form, they are tinged with light green, transforming into blooms of soft yellow. The centre petals are golden amber, with an occasional pink hue.
Former Leeds Rhinos scrum-half Rob Burrow MBE was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in December 2019, just two years after ending his playing career by captaining Leeds to a record-extending eighth Super League Grand Final. MND is a disease suffered by an estimated 5,000 adults in the UK, with six people being diagnosed on average every day.
Rob soon became a patron of the MND Association, a charity focussed on improving access to care, funding research, and campaigning for people living with, or affect by, MND, with Rob leading extraordinary fund and awareness-raising efforts. In June 2024, Rob sadly died, four and a half years after his initial diagnosis. £2.50 from the sale of each rose will be paid to the MND Association.
