Rosecombs are true bantams, developed by English breeders, and have been know since at least the 1400s. there are many color varieties of Rosecomb, although the APA only recognizes the Black, Blue and White Rosecombs. The ABA acknowledges more varieties.

The large red rosecomb is, obviously, a breed trademark, as is the large white and round earlobe.
