Rose giveaway to mark St George’s Day
MEMBERS of Leamington Horticultural Society celebrated St George’s Day on Monday by handing out red roses.
They set up a stall outside Leamington town hall and gave 100 of the flowers to lucky ladies who passed by.
Ron Walton, treasurer, said: “The gesture was well received and it made our day when one lady returned to say that we had made a lot of ladies very happy, who were carrying their roses with pride with a happy smile on their faces.
