An display is set to take place to help people remember their loved ones and raise money for a hospice in Banbury.

The event will be held at Upton House and Gardens, near Banbury, in support of Katharine House Hospice’s ‘Rose to Remember’ scheme.

The initiative allows individuals to purchase a hand-crafted white metal rose to honour the life of a loved one.

These roses will be part of a temporary display at Upton House from June 18 - 30.

Visitors who purchase a rose will be offered free admission by the National Trust, who run the site, during the exhibition, allowing them to see their roses on display.

An exclusive viewing for everyone who purchases a rose is scheduled for June 18, with Katharine House's team members providing support to guests.

Each £30 rose, crafted by Black Country Metal Works, measures around 10cm in diameter and 50cm in hight when placed in the ground.

Individual giving manager Sally Brooks said: "Roses were the favourite flower of Katharine Gadsby, whom our hospice was named after, and now form part of our logo – so it feels like a fitting tribute to have chosen them as the theme for our annual event.

“We are so grateful for Upton Trust for their generosity, and for CMS Wealth for sponsoring the event this year.”

Following the display, the roses can be collected from the hospice, or posted for an additional £6.
