‘Kakinada Red’ was named after the port town in India by Girija and Viru Viraraghavan. That is one of the most interesting old roses there. Kakinada Red is used in garland making, it has few prickles, is semi-double to double, is nicely scented with more of a sweet fragrance than a damask scent. It was mentioned in the ‘Mystery Roses of India’ (in Rosa Mundi’s publication, ‘Mystery roses Around the World’) “While the roses we have mentioned so far appear in various historical records, they have not yet been located in present-day India.” Based on their researches, much more important is the rare rose which has existed there for a long time.
