Roland Garros (6 October 1888 - 5 October 1918) was an early French aviator and a fighter aircraft pilot during World War I.
(He settled into Escadrille 26 to pilot a Spad, and claimed two victories on 2 October 1918, one of which was confirmed. On 5 October 1918, he was shot down and killed near Vouziers, Ardennes, a month shy of the end of the war and one day before his 30th birthday. His conqueror was probably German ace (5-winner) Hermann Habich from Jasta 49).

The French Open is also referred to as Roland Garros because that is the name of the location it is played at. The French Open is played on clay courts and Wimbledon (England) is played on grass courts.
As to why - the surface a country chooses usually reflects the culture, preference of players from that country or tradition / history with that kind of surface in that country.

Where is the fuse for a 205 roland garros electric roof?
As far as I know there is not any! It has 2 relays located in boot on l/h side behind the felt liner on wheel arch! The motor for electric roof will only work with the engine not running but ignition light on! You must have the oil pressure light lit up as it takes a feed from this senser! Check the wiring to the oil pressure switch first!
