Sheenagh Harris rose
Earlier this year, one of our great rose champions, Sheenagh Harris, had a rose named after her. This was in recognition for her work on behalf of roses, internationally as well as in South Africa. The rose was named by rose breeders Girija and Viru Viraraghavan, famous for their extensive rose collection and gardens in southern India. They have held every elected position possible in the Indian rose world and write extensively about roses. globally.
Sheenagh has been at the forefront of the rose community in South Africa, serving as the president of the World Federation of Rose Societies from 2009 – 2011, and has been involved in many local rose societies. She has received countless awards and organised many international congresses, all for the love of roses. Her achievements are many and her promotion of roses never-ending.
The ‘Sheenagh Harris’ rose has been described by the breeders as a free-form rose that has warm colours like those of evening, in a way reflecting the warm glow of Sheenagh’s personality.
