Same as Blue Dress. Should be AKA for each other?

The Japanese text for 'Blue Dress' says that it is distinct from 'Turn Blue'

There are a couple other roses the have a very similar look. Besides the aforementioned Turn Blue and Blue Dress, there's Grawn Blue and Blue Gravity.
I believe I'm possibly missing another one. I assume that at least one of them must be a synonym of another, cause I do see the topic pull up now and then, but there is indeed a lot of confusion on which would be a synonym of which.
I've noticed for years that Grawn Blue does not have an hmf page. I've been aware of these varieties which are just now creeping up in the West's knowledgesphere for a good while.
I could see 'Grawn Blue' being a deformation of 'Gown Blue', meaning of course blue gown aka blue dress. I also remember reading a Facebook poster commenting that 2 in this group were synonyms, but cannot for the life of me find the evidence to say which and which lmao.
Grawn apparently is an actual word, which means cereal, grain, or maize. Perhaps the actual intention of the name is something like 'cornflower blue', if it is a separate variety indeed. Do you happen to know anything about it?

The website of this nursery has insufficient information about location, owners and so on.

Id assume it's the same seller that was running KatesRoseGarden on etsy (only on there it was her "Grandmothers" rose garden....that was somehow selling plants that only released in Japan in like 2020...), they were either being shipped from Japan or propagated in the USA and a lot of the plants were undersize/subpar....just a lot of not great feedback. Believe something potentially questionable legally too, I know I read a post somewhere from one the Japanese breeders saying it was violating their rights, just don't remember where that post was.

There are some stunningly beautiful roses from Japan being offered on etsy lately. High prices, and, as you say, one wonders about the legality. I wish the actual Japanese companies would consider selling some of their creations in the USA.

Looks cute. It's interesting that the buds in the photos are very pale, similar to how many yellow rose buds are before opening. Many mauve have some sort of red group in them, like 'Neptune' shows in several photos. 'Blue Bayou' is in between and probably most similar to this 'True Blue'.
