Would you like this rose named for you?
Have you ever wanted to give the perfect gift to someone? Or have you ever wanted to honor someone special in the perfect way?
A group from Princeton, NJ, wrote to TheGardenLady with such a request. They wanted to honor a beloved mayor with a rose named after her. Where could they possibly find a rose breeder who would create a new rose that would be forever known and sold with the name of the person honored?
This is the Jalgoldie rose TheGardenLady would love named after her
TheGardenLady found the perfect rose hybridizer who will create and name this unique gift for you as he has for people like Loretta Lynn and other luminaries. The rose hybridizer is Brad Jalbert of Select Roses in South Langley, Canada. Brad has introduced more than 65 new roses to the world rose market (the two photos on this post are of roses that he created). He has also co-written two books on roses Roses for British Columbia and Roses for Washington and Oregon as well as written many articles for rose bulletins in Canada and the US.
You can learn more about Brad Langley’s work by going on line to his website and you can visit his large display garden in Langley, British Columbia, which shows and sells high quality garden roses and is a demonstration garden for the Canadian Rose Society.
Select Roses is able to ship only the custom named roses to most countries around the world.
If any readers purchase a rose named for someone special, please let TheGardenLady blog know about it with photos of your unique, new rose and also the name of the new rose with a description of that rose.
