Names of Rose bushes
I am not a regular to this ng and so I hope I do not offend.
I am trying to find out if there are any rose bushes that have the name Eliza or Elizah in them... I would like one as a tribute/memorial tree for my sister, who's infant daughter recently passed away. If you could direct me to site that may assist in this or able to tell me if there is one, I would greatly appreciate it... TIA Kelly in Aus |

TIA Kelly in Aus www.helpmefind.com http://www.findmyroses.com/ http://www.everyrose.com/everyrose/index.lasso Keep in mind all roses in commerce aren't available everywhere. Depending on whether "Aus" in your signature is Austin TX USA, Australia, or Austria (to name the first 3 "Aus" extensions that popped into my mind), you will be more or less limited in what's available for purchase. (That wasn't a criticism, by the way, merely a cavaet to attach to any search results.) If you can't find a rose by a name that fits, consider a color that you and/or your sister might find appropriate. A lot of people use roses (and other plants) as family/friend memorials, picking a color that to them represents the friend or family member, sometimes simply renaming the rose - not officially, just in their garden.

TIA Kelly in Aus HelpMeFind is an excellent data base for doing this kind of a search - here is a link: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/index.php?tab=1 I clicked on the "Roses" tab and did a Name search with "contains Eliza" as the search parameter and got a very long list. Of these, the ones that contained "Eliza" were the following: Eliza (Shrub, Skinner, 1961) Eliza (Gallica) Eliza™ (Hybrid Tea, Kordes, 1996) Eliza Balcombe Eliza Boelle Eliza Descemet Eliza Fugier Eliza Leker Eliza Robichon The Skinner Shrub is an once-bloomer, and I am not sure if it is still in commerce: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=26376 The one that seems most promising is the Kordes Hybrid Tea: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=19078 The others are either Gallicas or Hybrid Perpetuals that may or may not be still in commerce. You might try to contact rose suppliers in your area and see if any of these are available in your area, or follow Gail's excellent advice. If your sister lives in a mild winter climate, Gallicas might never bloom at all - talking to a local Rose Expert from the local Rose Society would be tremendously useful in selecting a rose that is most appropriate for your sister's climate. I understand your urge to have a memorial tree/rose for your niece. When my beloved father died, I planted a Persian Lilac in his memory and named the plant with his name. The plant thrives, and in our mild winter climate, we had a pretty cool winter last year which triggered the Persian Lilac bearing my father's name put on a brilliant and fragrant display earlier this spring. The plant is well-mannered, delicate and beautiful, just as my father was. I spend hours sitting in a garden seat next to it in spring time as I read in the garden. May your rose selection commemorating your niece bring a lot of healing peace to your sister and to yourself. -- Radika California USDA 9 / Sunset 15 |

Radika acknowledged my post. :) Actually she went a lot further in listing roses by the target name and additional information (showed more effort on her part than me just listing a couple bookmarked web sites). It's part of what newsgroup communities are all about, sharing info. and experiences, and sometimes overlapping, more often than not due to how/when posts arrive on one's server. Personally I'd rather get too much info. than none! Gail |

My heart went out to the original poster wanting to honour a lost child with a commemorative rose plant, and I wanted to show my sympathy by sharing my personal experience without becoming maudlin' about it. These newsgroups are wonderful places for learning about human nature and experience as well as about the specific interest of the newsgroup itself - or so I find. -- Radika California USDA 9 / Sunset 15 |
