RHS President Keith Weed told the Queen:"It's a rose named the Duke of Edinburgh Rose to mark his centenary and it’s a commemorative rose for all the marvellous things that he did over his lifetime and for everyone to remember so much that he did. Mr Weed added of the rose:"Right now, with a cold spring and nature being a little bit behind, it doesn't look so lovely there but that's what it looks like. The picture says it all."Looking at the label, the monarch also saw that it features a small profile photograph of a smiling Philip wearing a white panama hat.A picture of the Duke could be seen at the top of the label
Mr Weed said:"Whilst being very poignant, it was also a delight to give Her Majesty The Queen, Patron of the Royal Horticultural Society, the Duke of Edinburgh Rose to mark what would have been HRH The Duke of Edinburgh's 100th birthday and to remember his remarkable life. The Duke's devotion to raising public awareness of the importance of conserving the natural world leaves a lasting legacy.
