Total budget was £1.7m from Glasgow City Council, The European Social Fund, The Scottish Arts Council, National Lotteries Charities Board, Strathclyde European Partnership and Esmee Fairbairn. His piece involved the breeding of a new rose variety. Both the real and bronze roses also exhibited at The Tate Gallery, London. 3 June - 30 August 2004 as part of an invited group exhibition titled 'Art of the Garden', with other artist including Ian Hamilton Finlay, Lucian Freud and John Constable.
