Rose Rob Burrow MND

The Rob Burrow MND Rose is strong, healthy, reliable, and utterly charming. Plant growth is bushy and upright with dense, glossy, dark green foliage.

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.

Flowers are attractive in shape and packed full, with up to 40 petals per bloom, giving a pleasing myrrh scent. This variety is suitable for beds, borders, and especially large patio pots.

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.
