Proud to finally launch what has been a labour of love during the pandemic. @harkness_roses – breeder of the finest roses for 140 years - joined forces with @WeTooBB to create what we believe might be the first rose named after an ethnic minority Briton hortweek.com/john-ystumllyn… @mattapple1 has an article on our rose for @hortweek subscribers but any moment now @georgeherd @BBCWales releases an exclusive package of interviews, online content and photos. Matt & George have been 2 huge supporters of this rose. Incredible people and amazing journalists

@jobellerina I think you asked our campaign if we had a list of names for legal tender.

We sent a 2nd letter to Chancellor suggesting a Service to the Nation set of coins around military service and the home front (so you could include Covid heroes) We gave six examples of names for our Service to the Nation heroes but also asked for public nominations also. We have waited so long for ethnic minority legal tender and let’s give communities a chance to nominate their own heroes.
