Coronation Street roses now on sale

As a keen gardener, I spotted Mattocks Coronation Street roses in our local garden centre last week. Mattocks have now sent through some information for us to share with Coronation Street fans with a list of suppliers where you can buy the roses.

There are three different roses for sale and they are named (with some artistic licence from yours truly), left to right, the Jack Duckworth - a solid no-nonsense sort of a rose; the Hilda Ogden - a chirpy little pink thing; and the Rita Sullivan - a fragrant blousy red-head.
