Blooming fundraiser
The new Christchurch
Garden City Rose will be
on sale around the city
from later this month and
will help raise funds for the
Mayor’s Welfare Fund. The
red hybrid tea rose was
bred for the city by
renowned New Zealand
breeder Nola Simpson. Specimens of the rose
have been planted in the Botanic Gardens. The idea came
from a Council team which was looking at creative ways of
making a difference tied into the Garden City image. A
portion of the cost of each rose sold will go to the Mayor’s
Welfare Fund. |
