Very well done.
You can say "this is tough work" or "this is a tough job".
A couple of other suggestions:
"...which would be sold during Saint George's day" would sound better if you said "...which are sold on St George's Day"
"The winner would receive all the money" would sound better as "The winner receives all the money".
"to whom are sent roses for free" sounds rather formal (although it is grammatically correct). Another way you could say it is "who receive roses for free to help publicise the project".
