Roses are like messengers of feelings expressing what words often can’t: emotions speak louder than words

Growers

Growing Together. Always Together.

The Always Together Rose is a sport of the very popular Never Alone Rose, which was released in 2015 and sold an astounding 48,000 units in its first year! It continues the legacy as a symbol that no one is alone in their battles with cancer. We are Always Together.

The Always Together Rose has been proven stable for the last seven years and has been propagated by a select group of growers across Canada for the past two years. It is relatively easy to propagate from cuttings, shows vigorous growth, and displays exceptionally well in pots. Currently, 5,200 Always Together rose plants are growing at these locations and initiated at the tissue culture lab.

Once a propagation/growing agreement is signed, any CNLA grower member can be licensed to produce the stunning, new Always Together Rose in a 1—or 2-gallon patio pot. Rose liners, 1—and 2-gallon stock plants, and tissue culture liners are available now.

Interested growers: Contact Jamie Aalbers at the CNLA office (647) 724-8630 (jamie@canadanursery.com) for a propagation / growing agreement and the contacts of the growers and the tissue culture lab that have Always Together Rose liners to sell.

The marketing synergy of the three partners (CNLA New Plant Development Committee, Communities in Bloom and the Never Alone Cancer Foundation) will be combined for the Always Together Rose market introduction for spring 2026.
