Hello Jayjay,
Congratulations on the new addition to your family.
There are a few roses which have promising names, such as:
'Breath of Life'
'Glad Tidings'
'New Dawn'
'Rosy Future'
'Warm Welcome'.
Janet's suggestion of an oak tree is great, but may be too large a tree for
most gardens.
Perhaps Quick Thorn, (aka Hawthorn, May tree; Crataegus sp.) would be more
appropriate. It is a sensible size for a small garden, very hardy, and also
has the useful attribute of being tolerant of pollution. Its blossom is
extremely attractive to insects (mostly beneficial!), and its berries
attract birds. The common tag of 'Quick' is also in keeping with a new
life, meaning 'life' or 'living'.
Otherwise, consider a plant which bears the child's name.

I am going to see my new grandchild in Aberdeen next week. I am
thinking of buying a rose tree or something that we can plant to mark
her birth. Have you any suggestions but not too outlandish, as I
only have access to quite ordinary garden centres. What grows in
Aberdeen, climbing roses? magnolias?
dwarf flowering cherries? what do you think?
