Geoff Hamilton

Like most of the United States, we experienced a harsh winter here in Arkansas in 2013-2014. The promise of spring and the new roses that would accompany the change of seasons were met with great anticipation. One of the first roses to bloom in my garden was this Geoff Hamilton by David Austin and here is my capture of this lovely spring rose.
