Introducing the BBM Centenary Rose
A living tribute to 100 years of courage, care and connection.
Bred in Australia by Richard Walsh exclusively for BBM’s centenary, this special rose honours the legacy of the Big Brother Movement, which began in 1925 as Australia’s most successful migration program for young men from the UK.
Today, BBM enables young Australians to travel the world for industry experience through its Global Footprints Scholarship program – fostering leadership, global perspective and learning for sustainability.
The BBM Centenary Rose features 10cm wide blooms, tightly packed with soft pink petals and yellow centres – a beautiful symbol of transformation and growth.
Available soon exclusively through Wild Rose Nursery, the Centenary Rose is a meaningful way to commemorate a century of life-changing journeys. Proceeds support the Global Footprints Scholarship program, ensuring the legacy of courage, care and connection continues to grow.
