Rose named after Princess of Wales to celebrate ‘power of nature’

# A rose has been named after Catherine, Princess of Wales to highlight the healing power of nature. The Royal Horticultural Society said it called the flower ‘Catherine’s Rose’ to raise awareness of the role that spending time outdoors plays in supporting people’s mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing. The floribunda rose has coral-pink blooms with a scent of Turkish Delight and mango. Proceeds from every sale will go to the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. The princess was treated at the hospital, in west London, for cancer last year.
