Bicolor was a name applied in the early 19th century to a semi-double Scots rose that was bicoloured in the same sense as R. foetida 'Bicolor', but the petals are purple on the front and white on the back (see also Mary Queen of Scots). There are cultivars given the name today that are very different, with pink markings on white petals. The old meaning of the name should have priority.
