A Rose by any Other Name (Part 2)

And, there are yet more sterling patterns named Rose. It is interesting to me the differences - from the very elaborate (Bridal Rose) to the simple (Castle Rose). Short of the name, and possibly a floral motif, they sometimes have little in common, with the exception of being made of sterling silver and designed as an utensil for dining.
