Hello wangaratta-ga,
EveryRose.com is dedicated to collecting reference information on
roses. On their website one of their most frequently asked questions
is:
Q.: I would like to have a rose named after a loved one. How do I do
this?
“A.: Naming a rose is a complex operation that can take 2 - 7 years.
If you haven't hybridized your own rose, you will need to find a rose
breeder who has a suitable unnamed new variety that has been tested
and is ready to register. Then, you need to either persuade or pay
them to name the rose as you wish. Once the rose is registered, there
is still no assurance that it will be brought into commerce and become
a successful variety.
(..)
Written permission has to be given in order to name a rose after a
living person. Contact your national Rose Society (ARS in the US, RNRS
in the UK) for more details about registering rose names.”

In a message dated March 17, 2003 at the Garden Web Forum there is a
letter from Gareth Fryer of Fryer’s Roses which will provide you with
pricing and other essential information for naming a rose.
“Many thanks for your enquiry. Unfortunately we have nothing available
at the moment as all our introductions for this coming season are all
named. We shall be making the final selections for 2003 releases in
July and will contact you then.
The cost for naming starts at around £7000 ($10,977). It depends on
the name and the type of rose chosen. However, our standards are high
and we only introduce new varieties that have undergone rigorous
testing and have proved to be completely reliable.
As an alternative we do have new varieties that have been trialed for
several years, but having reached the final selection stage, for one
reason or another are not chosen for introduction. These roses will be
unlike any other and will give an exceptional garden display, but they
will never be included in the catalogue.
We usually have around a dozen new varieties like this each season and
for £500 ($784) one of these unique new roses can be given the name of
your choice. In the price we provide a naming certificate, a
photograph of the rose and ten plants for your personal use.
(..)
Yours sincerely,
Gareth Fryer

I might also point out that if you chose to go this route, you'll need
an import license and a place to quarantine them for 2 years. Karl”
