smiley1590 Report post Posted May 23, 2010 in my nan's memory when we move me and mum going to garden centre to get two rose bunches but if possible want them to be named after my nan as i know some roses are named after ladies my nan's name was 'EILEEN' does anyone know if there is one out there somewhere? i DON'T want to name one just buy one!

NobbyNobbs Report post Posted May 24, 2010 i did a search but didn't find anything. your best bet is to actually go to a garden centre and ask them as they will have catalogues. otherwise you could try searching gardening catalogues yourself for the right species name.

Samsam Report post Posted May 25, 2010 Hi Smiley, wouldn't it be far more special to have the rose named after your nan - that way if anyone else ever wants the same rose they are actually buying a rose which is named after her and her only. I think it seems more special this way. Also in the name your own rose kits you get the seeds to grow yourself so you would actually be the only person with that rose with that name if you see what I mean.
