'I Actually Cried:' Dame Deborah James gets rose named after her
The BBC host Dame Deborah James, 40, was presented a flower named after her.
James previously stopped treatments during her battle with bowel cancer and lsaid that she is in hospice.
In social media she posted photo with a beautiful bouquet of purple, white, and blush roses as she debuted her new floral namesake: The Dame Deborah James Rose.
"I actually cried when they asked me if they could name a rose after me," she said of the moment with the U.K.'s World of Roses and The Harkness Rose Company, adding that the rose is set to be available this fall but can be preordered now.
Every $3 will be donated to James' Bowelbabe Fund.
"Roses are my favourite flowers and I hope this one will brighten the smiles for all!" she wrote.
