Rosa 'Princess of Wales' is a white blend Floribunda rose cultivar.[1][2] It was bred by Harkness in the United Kingdom and introduced in 1997.[1][2]
The name 'Princess of Wales' was chosen in honour of Diana, Princess of Wales. She received it as a tribute for her 10-year cooperation with the British Lung Foundation.[1] The rose is said to be one of Diana's favourites.[2] After her death, the proceeds from selling the roses in 1998–99 were donated to the British Lung Foundation.[1]
The nostalgic floribunda is also known as 'Hardinkum'.[3][2][1] It has a double bloom form, and a mild to strong fragrance.[1]
In 2002, it was granted the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society.[4]
