Re: Genealogy Garden Rosemary is a plant that is often used for remembrance - apart from being wonderfully aromatic and hardy, it's also useful for cooking. I, too, planted a shrub to commemorate my father's death on what would have been his 80th birthday. It's called "Golden Spirit", which I think is very apt. Five years on, it has survived being moved from London to West Sussex and flourishes each year. Jenny
