Rose to Remember FAQs

Each rose costs £30. To purchase a rose, please return to our Rose to Remember page.

As well as being a tribute to the lives and memories of those special to us, last year our Rose to Remember event also raised £19,477 for the hospice.  

While we deliver all our hospice services completely free of charge to those who need them, it costs more than £5.9m per year to run every element of Katharine House Hospice. This equates to £114,139 per week, £16,261 per day and £678 per hour. 

Roughly speaking, Katharine House receives funding from the government to cover around a third of these costs so our fundraising and retail teams have to raise the other two-thirds.  

This means your support is vital in ensuring our patients and their families receive the very best care when they need it. 

This year all the roses will be purple. We will change the colour each year.

No, however there will be a dedication board and if you have dedicated a flower before 1 June, your loved one’s name will appear on here.

The private viewings will take place on Saturday 13 June and the evening of Thursday 18 June. These are open to those who have purchased a rose.

Our hospice is named after Katharine who died from cancer at just 20 years old. Her favourite flower was the rose and it has always formed part of our logo.
