Rosa hybrida ‘Suffragette – The Vida Goldstein Rose’ is a rose of elegance and significance. This Hybrid Tea Rose honours trailblazing suffragist Vida Goldstein. Featuring large, classic white blooms with a soft blush of pink or cream, its buds open into full, cupped flowers with a strong, captivating fragrance. The upright bush thrives best in drier climates, making it well-suited to many Australian gardens.
Born in Portland, Victoria, Vida Goldstein was a pioneering advocate for women's rights and a key figure in securing the vote for Australian women in the early 1900s. This rose is a beautiful tribute to her enduring legacy.
