Title: My Mum's Rose
Post by: LilacSandy on July 04, 2012, 11:01
About three years ago I brought some rose seeds off the internet for my Dad as you could name the plant when they grew.  As my Mum's name was Rose I named it for her.  This is 'Rose Hannah Hemp', it has lovely pink delicate blooms and smells just like the old fashioned bottles of rose water.

That's lovely Sandy  :)

I bought an In Loving Memory rose when my mum died. I got one for each of us but mine got left behind when moved. I need to get another one. Such a lovely healthy rose. I got a rose called Marjorie Fair in memory of my mum in law and that got left behind as well  :nowink:  Fortunately we have a rose nursery nearby and they have everything. They grow their own and have all the lovely English roses etc but all much cheaper than the garden centre.

That's pretty. :)

I got Remembrance when my mum died, she loved bright red roses.
