The Peter Beales Collection of Classic Roses 2000-2001 says Jill Dando has clusters of semi-single bright red blooms with hints of yellow at their centers.

This rose was named at the request of Gloria Hunniford, a dear friend of Jill Dando, who died so tragically.
UK television presenter Jill Dando was born 6 November 1961. She was shot to death on the doorstep of her home 26 April 1999.
