Notes:
Named in commemoration of the reconstruction of the Frauenkirche (St Mary's church) in Dresden, which was destroyed on February 15, 1945 in the allied bombardment, which laid most of historic Dresden waste. The reconstruction started 1990 and completed 2005. The rose was issued as a "limited edition" of 5000 plants, with 20% of the price going into the reconstruction fund.
