    Wendy,

    What a nice idea. The white Rose sounds nice.

    As to the rest of the garden, I am sure Andrew will love whatever you plant.

    He will be the "Sunshine" for your garden.

    A rose bush is a lovely thing to plant as a memorial. I planted a magnolia - her favourite, for my mother when she died.

    Here is a link for the meaning of rose colours.

    All the ideas sound lovely. Maybe some kind of angel statuary too? We planted a Red Bud tree in our yard in memory of my Daddy who was always called "Buddy".

    Maybe you can incorporate flowers and plants that will live year long.Or have different bloom times so that it is a constant memorial without anything going away for the winter, or any other times of the year...Just my two cents worth...

    How about a plaque that has his name on it...like...Andrew's garden.....Or a little bench where you can sit and think of him....
    Maybe a little water fountain......the sound will be peaceful

    I'm so very sorry you lost your babies
