Name a rose
Hello
I wonder if it is possible to name a rose after my wife? What I am looking for is one that I can name that will go out to numerous garden centre's etc and become a "known" variety. I was diagnosed with terminal cancer last August and wanted to do this before I go, Can anyone here help me, or is there something similar I can do before too long? Thank Simon |

Thank Simon There is an organisation called www.Name-a-Rose.com but as to the rose then becoming a commercial proposition, I don't know. It would be better for you to contact one of the big rose growers like David Austin and Beale's and ask their opinion. AFAIK, it costs a LOT of money to get a commercially viable rose named after someone because it involves a type of patent and a variety of garden-worthy tests etc. but they could give you more information. I'm sorry to hear of your illness and greatly admire your fortitude. -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |

Thank Simon Thank you everyone for your help and kind words. I will contact David Austin and see if he can help. I wanted the name Georgina Joy for the rose, not my nick name for her which is lettuce as she is always in the garden. I think Georgina Joy may sound better. Thanks again for all the help xx |
