The parents of the youngest victim of the Manchester Arena bombing have revealed a new variety of rose cultivated in memory of their daughter. Andrew and Lisa Roussos lost eight-year-old Saffie-Rose in the terror attack following an Ariana Grande concert on May 22 last year, in which 22 members of the audience were killed. Saffie’s Rose 🌷 We are extremely humbled that Andrew, Lisa, Ashlee & Xander have chosen Once Upon a Smile as beneficiaries to Saffie’s Rose. Named Saffie’s Rose, the flower is described as a “lovely soft pink grandiflora, with medium-sized double flowers”. Saffie’s Rose costs £19.50 with £4 from every sale going to Once Upon A Smile, and can be bought through the charity’s website.
