Choosing Roses - The Top Five
Roses Named After Famous People
Executive Summary about Rose
Names by Laura A. Hofman
In the
1950's, the trend of naming roses after heads of state took hold with the
introduction of the Queen Elizabeth. This rose is still extremely popular and
widely available.
In the
ensuing years, numerous roses have been named after U.S. presidents. Perhaps
the most popular and enduring is Mr. Lincoln, a vibrant red colored beauty with a citrus scent.
As you might
expect, another popular category of roses is those named after movie stars. Elizabeth Taylor, Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn,
and Marilyn Monroe are just a few movie stars who have varieties named in their
honor.
One of the
most enduring and popular roses is Frankly Scarlet, named after the famed Gone
With The Wind character. It is, not surprisingly, a deep scarlet red.
Conversely, there is a variety called Snow White which is one of the purest
white colors available.
Another
extremely popular choice is the Princess Diana, another hybrid tea that is a
blend of soft pink colors.
Many years
ago, Bing Crosby had a rose named after him, not only for his cultural
popularity but the fact that he was an avid gardener. In the present day,
Barbra Streisand, LeeAnn Rimes, and Dolly Parton are just three of several
popular singers who are honored with a rose.

Executive Summary about Rose Names by Greg Pierce
Celebrities
indeed have the power to influence the public's general opinion. For being
praiseworthy, for possessing such elegance and greatness in character, for
being advocates of principles that will affect for a better humankind and world
and among others, roses are named after them in honor of their
contributions and undying efforts.
Dame
Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, is popular and a favorite not only because of her
beauty and acting talent but also regarded highly because of her greatness as
an actress as evidenced by her long list of Hollywood movies during her era.
Like its namesake, the rose is such a scene-stealer and
show-stopper with its shocking deep pink petals with smoky edges and slightly
spicy fragrance and believed to be the finest of all pink roses.
Norma Jean
Mortensen or Marilyn Monroe to Hollywood began as a model before eventually
becoming an actress. For what she is worth to the people her generation, a
creamy apricot hybrid tea rose was named after her.
Indeed
roses, despite being breath-taking and stars of their own right have their fair
share of inadequacies like Marilyn and Liz. Nevertheless, those flaws make them
all the more admirable as they knew how to rise elegantly from every fall just
like the shrub of roses after every storm.
