Looking a bit like leathery foliage. Maybe it's adapted to such circumstances. Nice name.... why chosen that-one for this rose?

The leaves are a bit leathery. The pictures of the plant in the pots are of the very young plant which was always bushy and held the leaves so I don't think it is necessarily adapted. The name selection is a bit complicated. I take my inspiration from my Swiss-German Grandfather so I like to use German names for some of the roses. I was looking for a name for this rose when one day my daughter referred to her fiance as Mein Retter. Both of my daughters and I are blessed with special men in our lives so I decided to use Mein Retter in der Not (My Knight in Shining Armour) in their honor.

Good choice for taking an own bred rose to honor them!

Very unusual informal petal arrangement, I really like that. 'My Knight in Shining Armour' is such a better translation than microsoft translate's 'My Saviour in an Emergency'!
