Rose to Remember

Celebrate your loved ones with a rose that blooms forever

Roses are a symbol of love, which makes them perfect for remembering someone
you hold close to your heart…

Rose to Remember is a meaningful way to celebrate and remember your loved ones through the purchase of a beautifully crafted metal rose to keep forever. Our bespoke rose has once again been crafted with care by G & J Logistics based locally in Royton. Each year the colour of the rose changes, enabling you to create your own memory garden for you and your family. This year’s beautiful teal, metal rose measures around 6cm in diameter and 30cm high, personalised by us with a leaf that will include your loved one’s name and a short message.

Your dedicated rose donation will make a real difference to the patients in our care.

Order your Rose to Remember

Our bespoke teal roses cost £12 each, but you are welcome to make an additional donation. Dedications of £30 or more will receive a 2025 Rose to Remember pin badge. Every rose purchased and dedicated will contribute towards the vital care of our patients and their families here at Dr Kershaw’s Hospice.

Each rose will be planted in our Hospice gardens for our special commemorative event on Sunday 29th June before collection. If you’d prefer, or are unable to attend, you can have them posted to you (additional charge of £6.50 to cover postage and packaging).

Order your Rose to Remember online, call our Fundraising Team on 0161 624 9984 or pick up a Rose to Remember leaflet from our Reception or one of our Hospice shops.

Once you have made your dedication, we will also write your loved one/s name on a special leaf card which will be attached to your rose on collection.

Subject to rose availability the cut-off to order your Rose to Remember online is
5pm on Thursday 26th June 2025.

Rose to Remember Service: Sunday 29th June, 11.30am-2pm

Join us for an exclusive viewing of the roses in our newly developed gardens, where a short celebrant service will honour the lives of your loved ones. Along with enjoying a performance from Dr Kershaw’s Choir, you can indulge in tea and cake from Café K and browse a small selection of Hospice stalls.

Following the event, you can collect your rose to take home for your own garden. If you are unable to attend the event or collect your rose, we can send it to you for a small additional charge of £6.50 to cover postage and packaging.
