Are you looking for a rose for that Special Person in your life but have been unable to find one  with their Christian name. There are many Christian named roses where the name is hidden e.g. Joey ‘Just Joey’ Heather ‘A Rose for Heather’ Ruth ‘Bloom of Ruth. There was a regular item in the days of the book version called ‘Just Roe You’  At present investigation is taking place to see if help can be given on this website to make it easier to locate the names. So watch this space.  Commemorating a Special event, or looking for a variety to give to someone with a special interest, perhaps the following item will give you some ideas. Some may seem a little obscure. We do however all look at things in a different light.
