Story
I am the mummy of the beautiful little Saffie-Rose who was tragically taken in the Manchester bombing attack. I have approached the Royal Horticultural Society to ask them if they would create a rose in memory of Saffie. I spoke to a very lovely man who said he had hoped we would get in touch as he too feels it would be a beautiful and fitting tribute to her. The cost of this would be approximately £10,000. The rose could then be created and go into commerce and could potentially be bought and sold all around the world. The proceeds from the sales would go directly to Saffie's charity or charities and hopefully we can get a foundation set up. The events of the 22nd of May was truly felt by the public and their love, generosity and continued support is overwhelming and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This is a personal goal for me in memory of my precious little girl. A beautiful rose, just like her to live on forever.
