The name of this rose is killing me! HAH

Yep. Kills me too. Reminds me of all the confusion over 'Orange Triumph" when people wrote:
"In this country the colour is definitely scarlet orange, but in Germany I am told it is orange."
"there are times when an orange glow is visible".
"but the orange has only been visible under an artificial light."

Gotta love culture. I guess if it was renamed in the same vein as now in the US, it would be something like 'Lady Coral' or some such.

I'm assuming that it refers to the Dutch Royal house, and is therefore not incongruous.
On the other hand, The Great White as a rose name makes me grin, because in Aus that usually means a shark, and by extension, one of our golf players.

Sliedrecht an Co is/was a nursery in the town of Boskoop, later called Eagle Nurseries.
Company De Ruiter is still a Rose breeder: http://www.deruiter.com/en-68-Products/

Thanks Jay-Jay. I should have elaborated a little more. The references are conflicting on who was the discoverer of 'Prinses van Oranje'.

One might try to contact De Ruiter themselves.

Correct Dutch would be Prinses van Oranje or translated Princess of Oranje(Orange)

Yes. The early references all spell it correctly and we have removed the Princes and reinstated the Prinses. There were about three of the climbing sports and we will get to these as soon as we can.
Regards and thanks Jay-Jay.
