That is the only negative which I can't explain for the Rose. They limit you to the 23mm Mavic Yksions, despite the 25mms being widely available and much more preferable.
Could probably squeeze 28s into the Canyon, but the Rose DT clearance looks touch and go from that mock-up, don't you think?
This will purely be a fair weather weekend bike though, so I wouldn't be so concerned about running 28s. I ride Schwalbe 25s all year round at the moment anyway, so would happily stick with them if I could upgrade from the 23s.
It'll still be more comfortable than your last bike.
It is a fair point, Carbon seatpost is a nice additional comfort with skinny tyres.
Actually that's another thing to look for; which bike can accept bigger tyres (I'm talking 28mm).
