JACgodde, Tahitian Sunset. Looks like a pretty rose. I wonder how it compares with, say, Medallion which is similar in color?

...

The label has some minor errors. Tony Lord in his book "Designing with Roses" takes much of a chapter dealing with the official typographic conventions to be used when referring to roses. The trade moniker - the one used around the world regardless of the names under which a rose might be sold in one nation or the other - has a special typographical format. It consists of three capitalized letters representing the company that introduced the rose and is followed by any arbitrary number of small case letters representing the rose within that organization. In this case for example, JAC means this rose was introduced by Jackson and Perkins. The letters godde refer to which of JAC's roses it is. If I remember correctly, HMF complies pretty well. Too many other places do not. How funny that Week's Roses does not. The label also states PPAF; but according to HMF the patent was granted in 2008. Two mistakes on one label. Let's hope they were better with associating the right rose with the label at hand.
When you dance with nature, try not to step on her toes.
