Write a commentRemember a Loved One This Spring with a Sunset Rose
This spring, Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity has partnered with the magnificent Waddesdon Manor to create a beautiful new Forever Flowers tribute. In April, the Rose Garden at Waddesdon Manor near Aylesbury will be transformed by a stunning temporary display of 1,200 bespoke metal Sunset Roses, each symbolising the life, love and memories of someone special.
Members of the community are invited to dedicate a Sunset Rose in honour of a loved one. Those who make a dedication will also be invited to a private viewing of the installation on Monday, 27th April, while the grounds are closed to the public. The display will then be open to visitors for three weeks, before each dedicated rose is returned to its owner as a lasting keepsake.
By dedicating a Sunset Rose, you will be supporting Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity to continue providing compassionate local hospice care for patients and families across Buckinghamshire and its borders.

About Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity
Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity (FNHC) has the strategic objective to provide the best hospice care for everyone in Buckinghamshire and bordering areas, wherever and whenever they need it. In a 40-year partnership FNHC works with Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust (BHT) and its Florence Nightingale Hospice (FNH) at Stoke Mandeville Hospital to commission and fund hospice care provided in the Hospice building and at Butterfly House in High Wycombe as well as hospice care in the community.
In 2025/26 FNHC is budgeted to commission/fund £1.6m of hospice services from BHT and spend a further £174k directly on palliative care (such as improvements to the FNH building and specialist training and development costs for FNH staff). With the FNHC/South Bucks Hospice merger taking effect from October 2025, the costs of hospice care delivered by the combined Charity will be £2.076m.
FNH provides care for 2000 patients each year across Buckinghamshire and Butterfly House supports 600 patients per year in south Buckinghamshire.
