'Rokoko' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Sangerhausen in the book and plant label refer to this rose as Baums Rugosa Rokoko, no doubt to avoid confusion with the Tantau 1987 Rokoko which is also in the collection.

Different class, different colours, but same name and same year. Gee, how do these things happen. HelpMeFind has:
Rokoko (shrub, Evers/Tantau, 1987) Light yellow
Rokoko (hybrid rugosa, Baum 1987) Rose-pink.

I question the ARS color of orange-pink for this rose. In my garden it is a light mauve, just like most of the pictures posted here. Light mauve would be more in line for a Hybrid Rugosa. I doubt that the earliest picture is Showy Pavement, too light, too pink and too floribunda like.

Thanks for the information. The ARS corrected the color to medium pink after this rose was entered into the HMF database. I'll call it mauve to rose-pink. As for the hue of the first few shots (excluding the orangish one), I try not to take digital shots that are off-hue too seriously. It is easy to make hues inaccurate by adjusting the white balance or even by over-compressing images.

Cass, Thanks for correcting the color in the descripton.
It's not just the color of the flowers in the earliest picture, it's the shape and the number of them. To me they just don't look like Showy Pavement or any H. Rugosa for that matter. It looks like a picture of a Floribunda, IMHO.

Oh, I confused myself with the oldest picture, which is clearly wrong, and the next two. I agree the first shot is an error. I'll have it removed.

Thanks Cass,
I was going to say to leave the next two as I've seen flowers like that before. But now that I think about, I'm pretty sure it was on Darts Dash and not Showy Pavement. So I'll leave it up to you if you want to keep them or not.

The confusion must have been caused by another rose named Rokoko, TANokor by Evers. It is indeed an orangy-pink floribunda. Lovely too! I was looking for it and found this Pink Pavement.
All the references under "Buy From" for Tanokor turn out to be Pink Pavement, except for Pickering Nurseries in Canada.
