This is a new climbing rose called Francis E Lester from @david_austin_roses for the wildlife as it flowers long time and the leaf cutter bee loves this rose. Also it will grow all over my shed on my allotment and make it look amazing. Was a recommendation from @kategbradbury from the @bbcspringwatch series of her building a wildlife back garden. #franciselester #franciselesterrose #newrose #allotmentshed #climbingrose #springwatch2019 #leafcutterbee @david_austin_roses (at Midwinter Allotment) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7JCJOkgkH5/?igshid=kes1rpnon6ds
