Konrad Adenauer Rose HT. (Tantau 1955). Large dark red opening slowly to double blood red blooms which darken as the flowers age. It is richly fragrant and has received high praise whenever exhibited overseas. The third word in the title is an essential part of the original name and should be retained as it does not clash with any recognised rule. One society did try to prohibit the use of the word "Rose" in any title, but ridicule caused them to drop the idea. Had it been adopted it would have debarred any person with a surname of Rose having one named after him or her. 'Chatillon Rose', 'Gerbe Rose', 'Lyon Rose' and 'Orleans Rose' are well established instances in the legal use of the term.
