'Bicolor' rose References

Bicolor was a name applied in the early 19th century to a semi-double Scots rose that was bicoloured in the same sense as R. foetida 'Bicolor', but the petals are purple on the front and white on the back (see also Mary Queen of Scots). There are cultivars given the name today that are very different, with pink markings on white petals. The old meaning of the name should have priority.

'Bicolor' Short Pink & white Late spring
It is possible, though not certain, that this is one of the earliest Scotch Roses, for a list in 1822 refers the 'Large Double Two-Coloured Scotch Rose' to R. spinosissima bicolor; Modern Roses 7 refers the varieties 'Grahamstown' and 'Staffa' here, so the message seems to be, when in doubt call it bicolor; there has been much doubt in identifying Scotch Roses.
