It may be a persons name or a special event or commemoration that strikes a cord. Gardening should be fun, it is not a competition to see who can remember the most Latin names.<\/p>\n<p>Lily, Rose, Daphne and similar names are easy to match to people (as Daisy and buttercup could be to cows).<br \/>\nWhen it comes to existing named varieties the Sweet peas and Roses take the bouquet. They have traditionally been named after people usually relatives of the breeder.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hortoris\/4751667858\/\" title=\"Bruce Hall  by brianpettinger, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4121\/4751667858_eb97fd1252.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Burnby Hall Pocklington\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nRoses are available to celebrate various anniversaries Silver Jubilee and Silver Anniversary and Diamond Celebration.
