🌹 Rose 'Sir Donald Bradman' – A True Australian Icon in the Garden
Celebrate a national legend in your garden with Rose 'Sir Donald Bradman' – a striking and noble tribute to Australia’s greatest cricketer. With its pristine white blooms, powerful fragrance and strong growth habit, this rose combines elegance, performance, and patriotism.
