In his stirring wartime film, Mrs Miniver (MGM 1942), starring Greer Garson in the title role, William Wyler includes in the storyline the naming of a rose after Mrs Miniver, as a symbol of steadfastness. Even after a little research, it is not clear to me whether any real rose was ever called this in tribute but I have a source that will know and then, if the rose exists, also what it looks like. I have seen a suggestion that there are some roses called this planted outside the Imperial War Museum. Until the matter is clarified, the above is an artist's impression of this rose (artist Irina Ohl).
