Through the generosity of Knight’s Roses, the FireStar Rose is the official rose of the CFS Foundation providing funds through the sale of each rose. The international award winning FireStar Rose has fascinating flowers made up of unusually frilly petals. It has a kaleidoscope of colours starting from scarlet buds opening to mandarin orange blooms, softening to raspberry pink with age.

This bush is lightly fragrant and when in full bloom carries a mass of flowers. Medium to large blooms, with clusters of 3-5 blooms per stem, this bush has flowers from spring to winter. With a dynamic show of flowers, it has very good disease resistance and is an exceptional performer.

The mission of the CFS Foundation is to provide financial support for the relief of suffering, disability, distress or misfortune of SACFS volunteers resulting from their emergency service activities within the communities of South Australia.

FireStar is a symbol used in some form by most volunteer Brigades in Australia. The points were said to represent the Knightly virtues of tact, loyalty, dexterity, observation, sympathy, gallantry, perseverance and explicitness, all the virtues needed to be a firefighter.   Visit the CFS Foundation web site to learn more.
