Naming[]

The name 'Princess of Wales' was chosen in honour of Diana, Princess of Wales. She received it as a tribute for her 10-year cooperation with the British Lung Foundation.[1] The rose is said to be one of Diana's favourites.[2] After her death, the proceeds from selling the roses in 1998–99 were donated to the British Lung Foundation.[1]
