Almost a year ago on the #RHSPodcast, Zehra Zaidi told us the remarkable story of John Ystumllyn, an 18th century African who was abducted and brought to North Wales. He became a gardener and the first well-recorded black person of the era to live in that region.

Zehra is back this week to mark Black History Month with some fantastic news – a new rose had been launched by Harkness Roses to commemorate John’s life. It’s believed to be the first rose named after an ethnic minority Briton. Listen here 👇 podfollow.com/rhs-gardening
