Rachel Jackson blesses us with flowers most First Days. She comes to Meeting with these gifts from her garden. Once their color and fragrance has been enjoyed during and after worship in the Meeting House they come over to Friends Centre to be enjoyed throughout the rest of the week by guests and the Resident Friends. This week we have been enjoying a bunch of Quaker Star roses. The pictures don’t really do them justice, they are amazing.
There are lots of reasons to look forward to our gathering on First Day mornings here at Mt Eden the flowers are one of those.

Thank you for posting this beautiful photo of these Quaker Star Roses. It was my grandad, Allen Henry Pearson who developed the rose in Northern Ireland. He’s no longer with us, and sometimes I just like to Google photos of his stunning rose. My daughter’s middle name is now Rose… partially to honor Grandad Allen.
