Hi I could'nt get a littoral word translation for 'Grows on you' in Latin so I looked in the beautiful language of the Hawaiian's and I came up with the closest match which was 'Growing on you' and it translates as
Kapuna 'I' oukou (pronounced 'kapoona e ookoo')
Or you could have 'fragrant flower' which is
`a`ala onaona Pua (pronounced 'a ala onayona pooa')
Or even 'fragrant Rose' which is
`a`ala onaona loke (pronounced 'a ala onayona lowkay')
The Hawaiian language is very beautiful and it has many meanings for one word, it is a very 'flowery, singsong' language and it can lend itself nicely to the naming of flowers.
Hope this helps, Bobg.

What a beautiful, stunning rose! How about "Formosa"? That is latin (I think!) for beautiful!
