Rose registration name
unique names that distinguish rose varieties from each other
A rose registration name is a unique name that distinguishes a rose variety (cultivar) from every other rose variety. All rose registration names are registered by the American Rose Society.
A registration name is either a buyer‑friendly name consisting of one or more words from natural language, or a code name, where the first three letters signify the breeder, and the other letters are more or less meaningless, e.g. the rose KORschwill bred by Kordes. The defined term is "registration name"; rose is added for clarity.
Properties and regulation of rose registration names
A rose registration name can be a commercially viable "fancy" name such as "Silver Anniversary" or "Birthday Girl", or a seemingly nonsensical code name such as "Ausjive" (which can be written AUSjive). Many older varieties and some new ones have one or more words or proper nouns from everyday language such as "Peace" as registration names. Code names were introduced in 1970s and 1980s.
If a variety has a well known name as well as a code name, the code name is often the official registration name. But in some cases, for example Betty Boop, the buyer‑friendly name Betty Boop is the registration name, and the code name is a registered synonym.

Why this record matters
“Rose registration name” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Rose, registration and name provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q124397612. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
