RHS Rosemoor, Devon

Jesus speaking: ‘What I am saying is true and this is what it is. Unless you are converted, and become as little children you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles themselves as this small child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such little child receives me. But whoever hurts ( offends) one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for them to be drowned… don’t hate these little ones because in heaven their angels see the face of my Father.’

Strong words in my words read it in Matthew 18: 3- 6 and 10

Let us walk into Rosemoor. We will look at two spaces/ gardens in this large sheltered valley area which is all part of the Royal Horticultural Society as is Wisley, the garden we visit often.

The first is The Queen Mother’s Rose Garden where I will give some facts about her below the roses that I photographed there. We will then look at what is called The Hot Garden and view purples, oranges and reds in September.

Looking at the roses in September gives a feeling of how fortunate we are to have so many buds and blooms. The garden at first didn’t look full but it was.

Here are some of the many varieties of roses I saw and what I learned about the Queen Mother:

Elizabeth Angela Margurite Bowes-Lyon was born on 4 August 1900 and died on 30 March 2002.

‘ It may be that loving children, radically and beyond reason, expands our capacity to love others, particularly our own mother.’ Kelly Corrigan

Let us walk into the ‘Hot Garden’ in the September sunshine.

So much quality that I am sure we will return. I hope you enjoyed a small amount of the garden’s beauty.

Take care,

Sandy 🙂
