ABOUT
In celebration of St David's 80th birthday in 2021, the PTA has officially registered a rose through Ludwig's Roses in honour of this special occasion. This beautiful, bold yellow rose has been named Marist Gold!
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 - one to 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.
We have planted a number of Marist Gold rose bushes in the bed on the left as you exit around the circle in the main car park and these will be flowering in the near future should you wish to see the roses in bloom. We will open sales of the roses a few times a year with specific collection dates. The roses will be 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. The first collection of orders will take place just before mid-term break on 21 October.
We hope that you are as excited by the addition of this beautiful visual element to our St David's environment as we are and that being able to plant one or more of the 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
