Cesar E. Chavez: A beautiful commemorative rose to honor a man who lived his life in pursuit of a better life for others. Buds set on long stems and spiral open slowly to high-centered blooms of bright red with thick petal substance and long vase life. You can confidently recommend it as a great rose to cut for bouquets, and as a featured planting in a special place of honor in the garden. A portion of the proceeds from sale of the Cesar E. Chavez Rose supports the educational and commemorative work of the Cesar E. Chavez Foundation, which has provided permission for use of Mr. Chavez's name and likeness. Info@cecfmail.org.
