Rose Born Free® Conveys a Message

The presentation of this image is foremost aimed at the promotion of the variety Born Free®. A rose is an emotional product and its commercial name and trademark convey a message, with an appearance in the mind of the user. 

Born Free is a nod to the incredible story of Joy and George Adamson, two known wildlife conservationists who lived and worked for decades in Kenya, associated with Elsa the Lioness, Joy wrote Born Free to tell the lion's tale, which was later made into an Academy Award-winning movie.

Why Banksy's Graffiti to Promote Rose Born Free®

Banksy is a graffiti street artist who made the mural of a masked man throwing a bunch of flowers, inspired by images of 1960s protests in France. It portrays peace and hope. In times of worldwide military conflicts, a clear message. It is opportune and symbolic in times of trouble and turmoil.
