The beautiful 'Duke of Edinburgh' rose was planted in the East Terrace Garden which Her Majesty will be able to look out onto from her private rooms.

The deep pink commemorative perennial plant was officially named in memory of the Duke who died aged 99 on April 9. .

Mr Weed told the Queen: 'It’s a rose named the Duke of Edinburgh Rose to mark his centenary and it’s a commemorative rose for all the marvellous things that he did over his lifetime and for everyone to remember so much that he did.”.

The Queen (pictured receiving the rose) has marked what would have been her beloved husband Prince Philip's 100th birthday on Thursday with a touching memorial at Windsor Castle.

When she looks out of the window of her private apartments, the 95-year-old monarch will now see a beautiful 'Duke of Edinburgh' rose, planted in the East Terrace Garden (pictured).

The rose (pictured being gifted to the Queen) was later planted in a mixed rose border at Windsor Castle.

The Queen receives a Duke of Edinburgh rose, given to her by Keith Weed, President of the Royal Horticultural Society.

A royalty from the sale of each rose (pictured being given to the Queen) will go to the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Living Legacy Fund, which will give more young people the opportunity to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

The Queen remarked on seeing there was a ‘hole already’ made for the rose, and chuckled in agreement when told Mr Carter had done a lovely job with the borders.

For every rose sold (pictured being presented to the monarch), Harkness Roses will donate £2.50 to the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Living Legacy Fund

Describing their meeting, Mr Weed said: 'Whilst being very poignant, it was also a delight to give Her Majesty the Queen, patron of the Royal Horticultural Society, the Duke of Edinburgh rose to mark what would have been HRH the Duke of Edinburgh's 100th birthday and to remember his remarkable life

Managing director Philip Harkness said: 'We are thrilled to introduce this brand-new commemorative rose to remember the remarkable life of The Duke of Edinburgh.' 

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme became one of his most remarkable achievements, helping young people build life-long belief in themselves, supporting them to take on their own challenges, follow their own passions, and discover talents they never knew they had
