Dementia Australia

Dementia describes a collection of symptoms that are caused by disorders affecting the brain. It is not one specific disease. Dementia affects thinking, behaviour and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Brain function is affected enough to interfere with the person’s normal social or working life.

Dementia Australia supports and empowers the estimated half a million Australians living with dementia and almost 1.6 million people involved in their care. Dementia is the second leading cause of death in Australia yet remains one of the most challenging and misunderstood conditions.

The beautiful Sweet Memory rose was named for Dementia Australia to help raise awareness of this terminal disease which affects so many people. Treloar Roses will donate $1.00 for the sale of each Sweet Memory rose to Dementia Australia.
