Yes, I should mention the legend of King Laurin. After all, Rosengartner is the Rose Garden. Seeing the photo, perhaps is clear the reason.

Bicromia perfetta

Tra l'altro (ma non per questo motivo) la Roda de Vael in tedesco viene chiamata Rotwand.
Enrosadira, Rosengarten, Roda, Rotwand: quanti richiami al rosso!
Ciao, Alvise
