I was so intrigued at the name of this rose when I saw it at the weekend in Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park in Belfast.
Isnt it great that google converts intrigue to answers with so little effort. After 40 seconds on the web I have an understanding of the name of this rose.
This is a Rose that was developed by Dickson Roses in County Down for the "Modern Slavery Garden" at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2016 (The garden won a gold medal!).
This rose (and the garden with the same name) was a celebration of the UK Parliament passing the Modern Slavery Act which became UK law in March 2015
The rose is well past its best in this picture but I felt it worth posting after working out the reason behind its name.
I'd have liked a honey bee on it ...but you cant have everything.
& some music if you like:

I have been asked to contribute to an exhibition about modern slavery. So this is what I've done, although it looks a bit more like a poster...

Asking the question... what if this had really happened in our history on a mass scale?

From far away they blast my eyes with they Glorious Pinkness - in the Olimpia flea market I seen them and got them without delay happy like vulture over chunk of rotten meat. Unused, slightly oxidized on they metal parts thou, this pretty hills cost me about three dollars. Russian style, fresh fluo but what I appreciate the most is ankle holders - voluntary slavery: cuffs on legs, hands and neck are always welcome in my bedroom. Here my friend Rebeca is sporting them one rainy day on the field by Wkra River.

14c - 16c Church of St Peter, Pebworth Worcestershire - the village is named after Pebba, its Anglo-Saxon owner .
The present church replaced a 13c building and consists of a tower, 14c nave, south aisle, 16c south chapel , north porch and 15c chancel. All of which seems to have escaped much 19c restoration.
The two stage tower was begun in 14c and finished in 15c. with battlements. It houses 10 bells, a great number for a village church.
Restoration / rebuilding must have took place in 16c with new entrance door, north porch , tie beams over the nave , south chapel & some new windows recorded, including perhaps the unusual dormer windows in the nave roof .

African American Slavery Monument Rousakis Plaza
River Street
Savannah, Georgia
The African American Monument was erected on Rousakis Plaza/River Street on July 27, 2002. The monument is an 11-12' high bronze monument which depicts a black family caught in a tight embrace with broken shackles at their feet.
The Monument is to commemorate and honor contributions of African Americans to the cultural, social, educational, economic and spiritual life of the Savannah community.
The inscription, by poet Maya Angelou, reads:
"We were stolen, sold and bought together from the African continent. We got on the slave ships together. We lay back to belly in the holds of the slave ships in each others excrement and urine together, sometimes died together, and our lifeless bodies thrown overboard together. Today, we are standing up together, with faith and even some joy."
Located in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center pays tribute to all efforts to "abolish human enslavement and secure freedom for all people."

on next page. Unending profit equals unending suffering.
Right now 27 million people are in slavery. That is more than double the slaves in the trans-atlantic slave trade. 13.5 million are children. Raped. Abused. Sold into sweat shops, rebel armies, sex shops… 99% are waiting to be rescued and every 60 seconds two children are sold. Many of us point the finger to God and ask him how can He let such tragedy happen? But, I think the finger should only be pointed at ourselves. How can WE let such tragedy happen?
