Rose "Stephen's Large Purple"

He would have been 49 on 2nd July (tomorrow), so its flowering is well-timed. The rose has a gorgeous fragrance and I love it :)

Sheila, I am thinking of you and your family at this sad time. Such a gorgeous Rose to have in your garden in tribute to Steve . . . :o) x

How thoughtful of the friends. A poignant day tomorrow, but you will know how much Stephen was liked when you look at your rose.

Thinking of you Sheila, such a beautiful rose for your beautiful boy, red for love. x

You’re all so kind … thank you, I’m grateful for your thoughts. Steve had many friends and they are missing him too.

Our thoughts will be with you, your family and friends Sheila . the rose is a beautiful kind thought x

Thank you Amy … I did hope that people wouldn’t mind me sharing Steve’s anniversary, and it does help.
