The first 100 years of seafarers’ charity Apostleship of the Sea is being marked with a new rose in its name.
Philip Eastell, who works with the Catholic organisation through his charity Container Shipping Supporting Seafarers (CSSS), came up with the idea during a trip to the annual Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show in London.
The keen botanist saw newly named roses and spoke to producer World of Roses to ask how much it would cost to sponsor one.
