'Moulin Rouge' Cluster-flowered. Raised by Meilland and introduced to much praise in 1952. 'Moulin Rouge' is a prolific bearer of smallish, brilliant red flowers in large clusters. the foliage is olive-green and glossy. In 1958, Bob Linquist in California introduced 'Elsinore', from 'Floradora' x 'Pinocchio' which is a prolific beatrer of smallish, brilliant red flowers in large clusters. The million to one chance had happened! Two raisers, each in different countries, using different parents, had created identical roses. These days they are all labelled 'Moulin Rouge' , but if you buy a plant in America it just might be 'Elsinore'. 'Alain' x 'Orange Triumph'. Repeat flowering.

David Ruston, South Australia. Roses of Distinction. 
In the red and orange-red class I do not think any [floribundas] can really be identified at a distance except perhaps 'Moulin Rouge' because of its rather small florets in very large heads.
