Judging from its date, this rose was probably named to honor (!) the Nazi/Nationalist goal of claiming the Free City of Danzig, a culturally German but geographically Polish city on the sea, which was established by the League of Nations. In 1933 the Nazi party took control and eliminated all democratic opposition; in 1939, the city was absorbed into the German Reich where it remained until liberation. Such an unpleasant set of associations for such a cute little rose!
