Make a Heartfelt Wish!
It may be a bit cold and raining on and off in Melbourne today, but as spring sets it, it isn't always like this, and we have had some beautifully warm days filled with sunshine and blue skies, like the day I took this photo.
On my stroll in the sunshine, I went past a garden of an old Edwardian bungalow which had a "Fiona's Wish" rose which had just put forth its first bloom.
Bred in 2001 by Alain Meilland in France, "Fiona's Wish" is a multi-award winning, highly fragrant hybrid tea rose with classic shaped blooms. Coloured cherry red with a creamy amber reverse the blooms are very striking. "Fiona's Wish" is named in honour of Fiona Coote, Australia's youngest heart transplant recipient, and her efforts to support Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute. Fiona continues to be an ambassador for the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, helping with fundraising efforts whenever she can.
