Rose ‘Gallipoli’ – A Living Tribute in Red
Honour the spirit of remembrance with the striking and meaningful Rose ‘Gallipoli’, available now at True Blue Garden Centre in Toowoomba. This remarkable Hybrid Tea rose was developed in partnership with the Gallipoli Centenary Rose Committee and stands as a living symbol of bravery, sacrifice, and national pride.
Adorned with deep crimson red blooms, this rose delivers a powerful visual impact in any garden. The classically shaped, high-centred flowers are produced in abundance from spring through to autumn, sitting proudly on long, upright stems - ideal for cutting and indoor arrangements. With each flush, you’re reminded of the enduring courage of the ANZACs.
‘Gallipoli’ offers more than just sentiment - it’s also a top-performing garden rose. It features healthy, disease-resistant foliage with a mid-green finish, offering a hardy structure and low maintenance appeal. Bred for modern Australian conditions, it thrives in the warm, dry climate of the Toowoomba region, making it a perfect addition to both formal rose beds and modern mixed borders.
By planting Rose ‘Gallipoli’, you’re not only enhancing your garden but also supporting the RSL, as proceeds from every sale contribute to their ongoing work with veterans and families.
