Special rose named after broadcaster Dianne Oxberry goes on sale in aid of charity set up in her honour

A special rose named after broadcaster Dianne Oxberry is going on sale to help raise money for a charity set up in her honour.

The news presenter, who hosted North West Tonight for 23 years, passed away at the Christie Hospital in January 2019 at the age of 51 shortly after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

Following her death, a flower at the RHS Tatton Park Flower Show was named in her honour by husband Ian. The Florida Sunset Rose takes its name from a special island on the Gulf coast of Florida that the BBC presenter fell in love with.
