Roses are named by the person (or company)
who breeds them. Roses have been named
after famous people, after friends and
family.
So the answer is:
(1) become famous and interest some rose
breeder in naming a rose after you. Probably
helps if you're dead at the time, but it's
not essential.
(2) marry or befriend a rose breeder
(3) breed your own roses and name them
after yourself.
(3) is probably the most likely to happen
which means, not very likely at all.
