Hi Everyone
Can anyone tell me if there is a rose called Esther available to purchase
in
the UK.
An elderly friend of the family died last week and my 11 year old daughter
wants to plant a rose in her memory?
Thank you

Hi Kim,

There is a Rosa 'Esther' in the USA (see
http://www.rogersroses.com/help/default.asp and enter Esther in the search
box), but can't seem to find a supplier in the UK. Also the RHS plantfinder
doesn't seem to list it, however there are other plants called Esther - have
a look here http://www.rhs.org.uk/rhsplantfinder/plantfinder.asp and enter
Esther in the search box.

What I'd suggest though is to buy a nice rose that is suited to the
conditions where you want to plant it, i.e. standard, climbing, miniature
etc. And remember her that way.

HTH
