I believe that rose brass and red brass are the same thing, and have a higher copper content. Yellow brass is about 80-20 copper/zinc. These terms aren't exactly standardized, and when I look in the literature for material characteristics, I see different alloys of brass, but not the terms as we use them for musical instruments.
