I log onto the BBC front page, and whose face should greet me, but my trail-blazing friend Zehra Zaidi, pictured with the John Ystumllyn Rose, launched in honour of one of Britain's first black gardeners.

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

I was honoured to be invited to Buckingham Palace today to plant the John Ystumllyn Rose in the rose garden for her Majesty, Royal Family & the public to enjoy. Together with Harkness Roses, myself & We Too Built Britain created this rose as a symbol of friendship, community & tolerance.

🌹The John Ystumllyn rose is planted in the Buckingham Palace Garden. Believed to be the first rose in the country to be named after an individual from an ethnic minority background, it was launched by We Too Built Britain - who tell the stories of under-represented people in Britain.

John Ystumllyn lived in the eighteenth century and was one of Britain’s first black gardeners. The yellow rose created in his honour represents the values of friendship and community, and serves as a reminder of how gardening can bring people together.
