Rose Nomenclature
By the Editor
As no doubt some of our members are aware, a very unsatisfactory situation with respect to Rose names has arisen within the past few years due to the practice of certain large commercial firms in re-naming Roses of European origin, contrary to and in defiance of "International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature" and its supplementary schedule known as Appendix VII (Nomenclature of Garden Plants).
Valid Name: Wilhelm Breder
Re-christened: Glowing Sunset

John Poulsen. New Roses at Canterbury, N.Z
Wilhelm Breder. Vigorous growth, with fine, healthy foliage. Large, shapely flowers which, however, have not come up to the catalogue description as regards colour. The best so far has been a pale buff yellow with no suspicion of a glowing sunset about it. It probably requires a warmer climate to do it justice.
