FUN WITH ROSES

NAME THAT ROSE

By Kitty Belendez

It takes a lot of creative thought to come up with a perfect rose name that people will like. If the wrong name is chosen, the new rose is doomed to a short life in commercial production. During the naming process, many names are discarded until finally the perfect name has been chosen for a new rose introduction.

In the table below are two lists of rose names. See if you can match the Winners to the Losers. Let's have some fun!
