We lost our dog today.  I have recently gotten the garden redone and was putting in a rose bed.  My son wants to put a rose in as a reminder of the dog, roughly in line with where he used to lie taking in the suns rays.  I have found a rose on line called 'Best Friend' which is in honour of the RSPCA but it looks like it is in Australia.  Would anyone know where I could get one in the UK or Ireland.  If not is there any other rose that would have an association with dogs that I could use instead.

Thanks Mum - we are going to go with Faithful Friend, he was tan coloured so that fits the best.

that's a lovely idea  we recently lost our dog and a few of my friends bought me a gift where you get rose seeds to plant with a unique number, you then go online and register that number with the name you want, Trixy in our case and we now have a rose named after our dog - just got to plant the seeds up and hope they're successful

Hi Sue,

That is a lovely idea as well - I will look into that.
