This was just another name for the Portland Rosebuds baseball team. See [http://web.archive.org/web/20100923010704/http://www.bookrags.com/tandf/west-coast-baseball-association-tf/] and [http://www.baseball-reference.com/nlb/team.cgi?id=d86e7a36]. Though it was [http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=4rNeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=4y8MAAAAIBAJ&pg=1333,5520861&dq sometimes] called the Roses, "Rosebuds" looks like it was the official name.

I've already added the name "Roses" to the Rosebuds article, so I think this article should be either redirected there or just deleted. Jsayre64 (talk) 16:26, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

:Redirect, alternate name. RJFJR (talk) 16:54, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Portland Rosebuds per above.  Gongshow Talk 17:17, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Redirect, for now, as an alternate name of the Rosebuds team. The Rosebuds article could be expanded to include all three teams with that name (let's not worry for now about the possible problem of the article being too long by covering all three teams--they were all short-lived and we can always fork content later). I am not opposed to deleting the Portland Roses article, but perhaps a redirect is more appropriate in case someone searches for details about the team without knowing their official name. --Another Believer (Talk) 19:34, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Redirect of course, In the future be BOLD and do the redirect when its a obvious case like this....William 00:20, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Redirect per nom. Rlendog (talk) 19:19, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Portland Rosebuds (baseball). I forked the content to help make more sense of the article. --Esprqii (talk) 17:59, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
