Notes:

• ‘Granada’ is one of the most fragrant of the multi-colored roses. The color is hard to describe depending on the season. In a temperate zone, the color will be a combination of rose-pink and lemon-yellow blended with nasturtium red, gold, peach and apricot. – heirloomroses.com
  
  
• The rose is named after Granada, a city in southeastern Spain that was the capital of the Moorish kingdom until it was captured by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492. It is the site of the Alhambra (a palace and fortress built by Moors in the Middle Ages) which is now a major tourist attraction. – Princeton’s WordNet
