Default Rare Fuchsia

Hello Everyone,

I've been asked to look after and take cuttings of Fuchsia 'Violet
Szabo', which is apparently unavailable in this country and seems to be
generally rare. Does anyone know this plant or, better still, grow it?
I can't even find pics of it, let alone any cultural advice. It would
particularly help if I knew how hardy it was, so that I may treat it
accordingly.

The fuchsia belongs to a London school where Violet Szabo attended. The
school has a garden dedicated to her. The fuchsia has to be protected
during building works, and I have been asked. It is almost
irreplaceable, so I don't want to lose it, but at the same time must
build of fresh stock of it. No pressure then! :~[
