Looking a bit like leathery foliage. Maybe it's adapted to such circumstances. Nice name.... why chosen that-one for this rose?

The leaves are a bit leathery. The pictures of the plant in the pots are of the very young plant which was always bushy and held the leaves so I don't think it is necessarily adapted. The name selection is a bit complicated. I take my inspiration from my Swiss-German Grandfather so I like to use German names for some of the roses. I was looking for a name for this rose when one day my daughter referred to her fiance as Mein Retter. Both of my daughters and I are blessed with special men in our lives so I decided to use Mein Retter in der Not (My Knight in Shining Armour) in their honor.

Very unusual informal petal arrangement, I really like that. 'My Knight in Shining Armour' is such a better translation than microsoft translate's 'My Saviour in an Emergency'!

In an interview on July 13, 1948 printed in the Corpus Christi Caller Times, Anna Moore Schwien, a former slave speaks of her childhood during the Civil War in Corpus Christi. She relates "At that time there was only one rose bush Corpus Christi and it was called the Rose of Castile. It was pale pink and very fragrant. It grew on a great big bush in the yard of a woman named Trinidad who lived where the Perkins Brothers store was later.

I've been researching the Rose of Castile and unfortunately these historic comments never describe the flower, whether it was double or single petalled. Do you know if the Corpus Christi rose was double or single petalled?
