I planted the forget me nots we gave out at my mums funeral.I was going to buy a rose bush on mothers day but lockdown happened and I still haven't bought it.

I have some lovely roses in the garden already and pick them to put next to mums photo.She would love them.

That's such a lovely idea Sandra, I haven't heard of that before but I love it!

Hopefully you'll be able to buy a rose soon <3
