The bracts of Cornus Eddie’s White Wonder are starting to turn pink; Viburnum Kilimanjaro in full bloom, and Rose “Stephen’s Large Purple” blooming beautifully on the fifth anniversary of his sad death from a heart attack. Our son was a friend to anyone who needed a friend, and it was his friends who sent us the rose: they miss him too.
It has a gorgeous scent!

Thanks Shirley and Rose. My maths let me down as ever, and it was 2019 that Steve died, It was on the night of 18th/19th May which probably confuses me.

Oh Sheila, I can't believe it was 5 yrs ago! time goes so quickly.
It's nice to have a plant in memory of someone we love :) and it was very kind and thoughtful of your son's friend to send it to you.

What a beautiful blog. The rose is beautiful and I can't believe it is 5 years since you lost your son. the rose is a superb tribute to him.

Sheila, a beautiful rose and a very beautiful memory of Steve. Itβs hard to think itβs been five years since you lost him, so young too. Iβm thinking of you, Sheila, both of you, at this time xx

Sheila, those bracts turning pink are delightful and the Rose is gorgeous. I am stunned to realise Steve has been gone six years, he was far too young to have left you.
