Roses in the Quad David Balfour (E, 1958-1963)

An article by Mike Fulford (E, 1962-1966) was spotted in March 2015’s issue of Current Archaeology , detailing his early interest in archaeology, and the influence of renowned historian Derek Roe (E, 1950-1956). Derek went on to become an Archaeology Professor at Oxford, a Governor at St Edward’s and a founder of The North Wall.

I thought that you might be interested to know that Teddies is in good company. There are three Della Balfour’s planted in Buckingham Palace Gardens. My brother Michael (E, 1960-1965) wrote to the Queen and she graciously accepted our gift of three rose bushes.
