Insights
The rose was bred to celebrate the bicentenary of the birth of the novelist, Emily Brontë, whose novel, Wuthering Heights, was published in 1847, a year before her untimely death at the age of 30. It is an iconic, passionate story centred around the complex relationship between Cathy Earnshaw and Heathcliff.
