A BEAUTIFUL commemorative pink rose was unveiled in memory of the youngest victim of Manchester’s terror blast, Saffie-Rose Roussos, following a heartfelt crowdfunding appeal by her mother Lisa Roussos.
The rose called ‘Saffie-Rose’ was unveiled at the RHS Tatton Park Flower Show in Cheshire and is now being featured in the BBC memorial garden.
The family approached the Royal Horticultural Society who felt it would be a ‘beautiful and fitting tribute’ for the young girl who lost her life at the tender age of eight and who shared her middle name with the flower.
Her mother Lisa Roussos says: “This is a personal goal for me in memory of my precious little girl. A beautiful rose, just like her to live on forever.”
