A Rose for Elsie's Story

With the kind permission of her family, Happy Plants humbly invite our local community to honour Elsie Dot Stancombe, by planting a rose in her memory.

In collaboration with David Austin Roses, we will be raising funds for Elsie's Story by taking pre-orders for beautiful, soft-pink flowered rose plants, which will be available to collect from our Formby site on Saturday 17th May 2025.

In return, we ask for a pledge of £30 to Elsie’s Story, by pre-ordering through this website, to allow her family to carry on spreading the same joy that Elsie brought to the world.

Thanks to the generosity of David Austin Roses, the full amount pledged for the first 84 roses sold will go directly to Elsie’s Story. Thereafter, every penny above wholesale cost will be donated - with Happy Plants covering all sales and fulfilment costs - to ensure as much money as possible goes towards honouring Elsie.

Together, we can help Elsie’s legacy to bloom.
