Ralph Moore discussed how he chose names for his roses in a 1970's ARS annual (I think 1973, could be wrong).................this one was named after a FLATWARE PATTERN................love the backstories........................

Nearly right Chris. Silverware, not flatware. You have a wonderful memory for things like this. The reference has been added.
