The opening of the Launceston Breast Cancer Rose Garden went ahead on Wednesday 5 October 2011. The weather was perfect, over 60 guests attended and a choir sang " You'll Never Walk Alone" which was my choice. (It is hard to find an uplifitng, non religious and not frivolous song, girls!!)

There are 52 bushes, 46 being "Best Friend" a hot pink fragrant flower and 6 "Blue Moon" roses.

After the ceremony, which the Mayor attended and spoke at, we adjourned to have afternoon tea including hot pink macarons and pink iced patty cakes.
