The Growing Hope rose, a deep red floribunda with a powerful fragrance, has been created especially to raise awareness of Cystic Fibrosis and funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. The rose, launched at the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show by Charlie Dimmock, is the result of a partnership between growers World of Roses, and mum Catherine Upstone, who has a two year old daughter with Cystic Fibrosis. The roses can be purchased from World of Roses by mail order 08452 606888 or www.worldofroses.com. £2 from the sale of each rose will go directly to the Trust or £10 if you buy three roses. Thanks to everyone who voted for the Growing Hope rose in the BBC poll, to make it the most popular new bloom.
