The family garden

Hi, we moved to a new house a year ago and have left things alone to get a feel for whats here, but now wish to develop things a little.

My project to start is to set up an area inspired by the family and so am looking for named plants to put in.

It's quite an extensive list but would like to know of any plants that anyone can suggest and where I can purchase them. 

Some I have heard about and are in brackets the rest I really need ideas about.

Grandparents

Tom or Thomas and Naomi (Naomi red rose) Albert and Hilda

Parents

Charlie (cheerful charlie or Charlie's rose) and Winifred, Winnie or Win

Us 

Dave and Philipa or Pippa or Pip

Children

Wayne and Rachel.     Janine and Adam.      Kayleigh and Gareth

Grandchildren

Ethan, Oscar, Alfie.       Leo.                           Poppy (varieties of poppy)

As I said a lot to find out but hope you can help in some way and give us some ideas, the more modern names seem particularly difficult to match up.The Naomi rose only seems to be only available as a cut flower but am sure someone out there may know where it is available, am open to all types of plants to grow its the name that is the important thing, we are on very fertile ground in Chichester, West Sussex and have a wide range of plants shrubs thriving in garden at the moment.

Many thanks for looking and hope to hear from fellow gardens image

best wishes Dave and Pip
