The only one that immediately springs to mind is a Rose called Caroline
Victoria which may fit the bill.
A few bits and pieces about it on Google.
Do roses thrive in your area?

Go to http://www.rhs.org.uk/rhsplantfinder/plantfinder.asp
and put in Caroline and see what you get, there's quite a choice.

There's a lilac-pink Campanula glomerata named Caroline.

And Lockyers list a Fuchsia Caroline, although it's a half hardy
variety.

Hi Janet,

I hope you are ok. I'm so very sorry to hear about your friends
daughter :-(

I don't have any ideas about a suitable plant I'm afraid as my
knowledge is very limited. I planted a rose called Evelyn on the day
my nan died as that was her name. It's lovely to do something like
that and very comforting. I Hope you find what you are looking for.

Thinking of you
Gail

Janet, I have gone through the plantfinder software and in the last edition
the following are available
Campanula glomerata
Fuchsia
Erodium
Hemerocallis
Osteospermum
Nerine
Rhododendron
Rosa Sweet Caroline
Thymus
Viola
I have left out all those plants which are coroline something and any
unsuitable plants such as Wisteria

I found the red ones more difficult than the pink as garden plants, but
worth a try?
