Fuck Yeah Mercury

The Freddie Mercury Rose

The Freddie Mercury Rose was propagated in 1993. The naming of the Rose was decided by Queen Fan Club members who raised the required £2,000 to name and register the rose. The money was quickly raised and the first bushes were made available early 1994. The rose is yellow with a pink tint and was chosen since Freddie’s favorite roses were yellow. 

The first Freddie Mercury roses were sent to his mom Jer Bulsara, his sister Kashmira Cooke, Mary Austin, Roger Taylor, Brian May, John Deacon and other close friends. Since then a limited batch have been propagated every year and have been made available at Queen conventions with a donation of each sale going to the Mercury Phoenix Trust.
