Garden centre launches Rose for Hope
Visitors to a Shropshire garden centre are being encouraged to buy a new rose, launched to raise money for Brain Tumour Research.
Albrighton Garden Centre on Newport Road, is selling the Rose for Hope to help the charity’s continued efforts to fund research and find a cure for all brain tumours.
The rose was launched by TV gardener Danny Clarke, also known as the Black Gardener, last month.
Danny lost his sister Margot McLellan to glioblastoma (GBM) - an aggressive form of the disease - so this was a cause close to his heart.
Grown by Lucksbridge Horticulture, the Rose for Hope is a repeat-flowering floribunda that has glossy and sunny yellow petals, a pleasing scent and comes in a pink pot.
A minimum of £2 from every sale of the rose will be going to Brain Tumour Research to aid their fundraising efforts.
Paul Forrest, Manager at Albrighton Garden Centre said: “We are delighted to stock the Rose for Hope which will not only provide a beautiful focal point in an outdoor space but ensures that at least £2 of your money will go towards this brilliant cause and help Brian Tumour Research fund world-class research into brain tumours as well as influencing and increasing awareness within the wider public to understand this disease.”
