I often sent photos of my garden to a dear cousin, a keen gardener, in England. This one taken yesterday he will never see as he died 3 days ago, but it is for him neverthless, with loving memories.
The rose is the floribunda Sexy Rexy bred in the 1980s in New Zealand by Sam McGready. It is very popular in New Zealand gardens.
The 'camera' used was an iPad :)
Post work done in PSP.

She is most popular in my rosebed as well Lyn. Wonderful shot of her loaded up with blooms. May your friend be tending the gardens of Heaven now and dancing joyfully with the angels.

A nice tribute to a man who loved his garden and his flowers. He certainly would have liked these as I do too.

It is always so hard dealing with such loss. There are no words that make it better. The tribute of flowers is so beautiful.

Cousins can often be closer than siblings. I lost a cousin last year who was more my sister than a cousin. My condolences to you and your family, Lyn, and this is a fitting tribute to him.
