Always Together Rose
This campaign is a partnership between the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association , Communities in Bloom , and the Never Alone Cancer Foundation .
A NEW ROSE CAMPAIGN LAUNCHING IN SPRING 2026
Growing Together. Always Together.
Communities Supporting Canadians Living With Cancer.
Roses are like messengers of feelings, expressing what words often can’t.
The new Always Together Rose TM rose has undergone seven years of stability trials and two years of propagation by select Canadian growers. It is part of a national campaign led by CNLA, Communities in Bloom, and the Never Alone Cancer Foundation. Additional support is provided through the CNLA New Plant Development Committee and participating growers across Canada.
Since its introduction in 2015, more than 150,000 Never Alone Rose TM plants have been sold across Canada, raising $210,000 in royalties. These royalties were split between the Never Alone Cancer Foundation and the CNLA Heritage Plant Development Fund, thereby supporting the inspirational cancer support provided by NACF and new ornamental plant breeding investments by CNLA.
With Always Together, royalties collected will also support Communities in Bloom(https://www.communitiesinbloom.ca/).
