@richard.spicer.7906 what a stunner & the name just reminds us of what a loss he was to the horticultural community. GH was my all time fav Gardener's World presenter 👌🏻

I feel so proud and excited to have found this rose in the undergrowth at the back of the garden a few weeks back, and still with its original label! Geoff Hamilton was my gardening idol as a kid and having done a bit of reading on the web I found out this rose was named after him and bred by David Austin. I've transplanted it to a temporary new holding bed (with some other roses) and so happy it is already showing signs of new life. Can't wait now to see it develop later this year 🤓
