Amanda shared a picture of the rose with the royal residence in the background to her 1.8million Instagram followers.
And while filming for her stories, she gently placed the single flower among the stacks of flower arrangements that lined the gates.
The pink grandiflora rose ‘Queen Elizabeth’ was introduced in honor of the Queen as early as 1954, a year after her coronation.
It followed the tradition of naming flowers after monarchs, and the Bourbon rose “La Reine Victoria” commemorates her ancestor Queen Victoria.

Amanda has had the pleasure of meeting Queen Elizabeth in person on a number of occasions, most recently at an event at the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in 2015.
Earlier this year the presenter enjoyed a morning in royal company at Clarence House in London to celebrate the 160th anniversary of animal welfare charity Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, for which she is an ambassador.
Amanda kissed Battersea’s royal patroness Camilla, then the Duchess of Cornwall and now Queen consort, as they joined Paul O’Grady and some very cute dogs at the garden reception.

A state mourning for the Queen has now begun, which will last until the end of the day of her state funeral.

Others laid flowers outside Windsor Castle – where the Queen had spent much of her time following the death of her beloved husband, Prince Philip, in April last year.
Senior royals rushed to the Queen’s bedside Thursday but failed to reach Balmoral before she died, it is believed.
Only their eldest children, Prince Charles and Princess Anne, who were already in Scotland at the time of the monarch’s sudden reversal, were able to make it to the royal estate before her death, sources said.
Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, his wife Sophie and Prince William all flew on a private jet from Berkshire to Aberdeen on Thursday as they sped to Balmoral to see her. But it is understood that they did not reach the estate before she died.
Prince Harry, who was due to attend a charity event in London with his wife Meghan on Thursday, also tried to reach Balmoral in time. But he arrived at 8pm, almost an hour and a half after the public was informed of the Queen’s death.
The Queen’s son Charles, the former Prince of Wales, is now King Charles III, while Prince William has inherited his father’s title and is now styled together with his wife as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge. William is now also the ‘heir’ to the British throne.
