For services to heritage rose preservation

Abbotsford resident Fran Rawling was "a bit blown away" to learn she had
been awarded a Queen’s Service Medal.

"It’s great that it’s getting the work of rose restoration out to the public," Mrs Rawling said of the award.

She has been involved with Heritage Roses New Zealand Incorporated (HRNZI) since 1997.

"I believe in keeping them, they’re part of our history, and New Zealand’s national heritage," she said.

Her award also recognised the wider team work to save heritage roses, which had been brought to New Zealand since 1814.

She is currently the Otago convener of HRNZI, lead member of the New Zealand National Heritage Rose Register team, and has been the New Zealand representative to the World Federation of Rose Societies conservation and heritage committee since 2017. She was also national president (2001-07 and 2010-13).

She organised a seminar for heritage roses public collection curators including New Zealand’s botanic gardens last year.

She was the key driver of the restoration of the Dunedin Northern Cemetery and led the restoration of a collection of heritage roses from when the Victorian era cemetery was active.

This collection has since become a national base for the preservation and conservation of heritage roses introduced into New Zealand.

She has organised, supervised and worked on several beautification and conservation plantings in Otago, including maintenance of the Dunedin Northern Cemetery.
