Natasha Richardson honoured with rose

Friends of late actress Natasha Richardson have apparently decided to name an English rose in her honour.

The 45-year-old actress, who was married to Liam Neeson, died earlier this year after a skiing accident in Canada.

A friend of Richardson and Neeson is quoted by MSN as saying: "We all want something to remember Natasha and there's no-one who better resembles a perfect English rose than her."

They added: "The whole family loves the idea of having a rose named after her."
