September is Prostate Cancer Awareness month so what better rose to feature than ‘Blue September’, a new release for 2024.
‘Blue September’ features clusters of fragrant lilac blue blooms, opening to reveal bee-friendly stamens. A medium growing plant with few thorns, this is an easy care variety suitable for all gardens.
Bred by Bob Matthews, himself a prostate cancer survivor, $2 from the sale of each plant will be donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation to help raise awareness for men’s health.
