St David's Marist Inanda

ABOUT

In celebration of St David's 80th birthday in 2021, the PTA officially registered a rose through Ludwig's Roses in honour of this special occasion. This beautiful, bold yellow rose was named Marist Gold!


The first round of propagated roses sold out in 2021 and again in 2022, and we have received many reports and photos of Marist Gold rose bushes flourishing in people's gardens! We are very excited to have our third tranche of roses ready for sale. Planting a Marist rose is also a way of marking or commemorating a special event or significant milestone in your son's life, and watching it grow in tandem with your son's journey. It is also a beautiful gift for a special occasion.


Ludwig’s Description of 'Marist Gold'

The rose chosen to honour eighty years of Marist education in Sandton produces shapely blooms of a clear yellow colour in great profusion - onto a slender stem. With its growth habit and flowering ability, it fits within the Flora Tea range - lots of blooms with the classical hybrid tea shape. It is suitable to be planted in groups or large beds, in single rows as borders to shrubberies and also in pots. The eco-chic green leaves are an added attraction on the hip-to-chest height growing bushes. Picking stems with tight buds for the vase allows for observing the slow unfolding of the firm petals revealing a deeper golden hue with a distinct very fine pink line on the petal edge and the prominent golden stamen and pistils. It has a moderate scent exuding from the opening blooms.


The roses are sold as part of the PTA's ongoing fundraising efforts and all profits will be directed to PTA projects that will benefit the St David's community - the current identified project being some significant upgrades to the Champagnat Hall. There will be a couple of collection dates and the PTA will be in contact with you about these dates.


Thank you for your support and we hope that your Marist Gold rose bushes in your own garden will be a constant reminder of your connection to St David's and the Marist values and ethos we all represent.


Thank you,

St David's PTA
