A UNIQUE chance to name a beautiful, new yellow rose is being offered in a special competition to mark the 70th anniversary of Webbs Garden Centre at Wychbold.
Staff at Webbs are expecting the competition to be extremely popular with customers as a previous name- a-rose competition two years ago attracted more than 1,400 suggestions.
Webbs will be donating £1 from the purchase price of each of the newly named roses sold to its three chosen charities - St Richard's Hospice and Acorns Children's Hospice, both in Worcester, and Primrose Hospice, Bromsgrove.
The competition is now open and the closing date is the end of May. Judges will pick the winning name and the roses will go on sale in July priced £8.99. The competition winner, whose name is chosen for the rose, will receive 20 of the yellow roses and £30 of Webbs vouchers.
Ed Webb, Webbs executive chairman, said: " We are hoping once named and on sale the rose will be a sought- after addition to people's gardens.
