I'd love to see a monster-big rose with huge sharp thorns
and impressive flowers given a name like "Gojira."
I'd be willing to kick in a centabuck to your breeding
efforts to develop a rose with six inch long thorns,
thick, scale-like leaves, and dripping-blood-red
flowers the odor of skunk cabbage [or rotting meat,
much the same thing], to be named "The Klortho".
xanthian, scientific name "Klorthoticus netius".
The Klortho, though, would be less of a rambler, and
more of a tree rose, a "stalker", if you would.
