Family of Saffie-Rose Roussos Unveil Beautiful Rose in memory of their Daughter
Andrew and Lisa Roussos have unveiled a special rose plant named and created in memory of their beautiful daughter – Saffie-Rose.
Saffie-Rose was the youngest girl to die in the Manchester attack.
Saffie’s family have been receiving ongoing support from local bereavement charity, Once Upon a Smile, and in wanting to show their appreciation for all their support, especially for their son Xander have chosen Once Upon a Smile as beneficiary to Saffies Rose.
‘Saffie’s Rose’ is a lovely soft pink grandiflora, with medium-sized double flowers. It has a light fragrance and is a repeat-flowering variety, suitable for borders or large containers, reaching around 2 to 3 feet (60-90cms) in height.
Lisa Roussos said: "People will be able to buy the beautiful rose and from the sale of each rose bush a £4 donation will go to Once Upon a Smile.
“Once Upon A Smile is an amazing charity that looks after bereaved children and they have been with my son Xander from the beginning. I hope people enjoy Saffie’s Rose and remember that it’s in memory of my precious little girl and help us raise as much money as possible for the charity.”
The ‘Saffie Rose’ costs £19.50 and is available from here www.onceuponasmile.org.uk/saffie-rose
Andrew Roussos added: "The charity is very special to both Lisa and I. They have looked after our family since the beginning and we know they will be there for us as long as we need them. We want to raise as much money as possible as a small gesture of thanks for everything they have done for us".
Daniel Jillings, co-founder of Once Upon A Smile said: “We are humbled that the Roussos family have chosen Once Upon a Smile to be the beneficiary of Saffie's Rose.”
