This profile should be deleted, since 'Souvenir de Babuña' is the name given by Cristel Steppuhn de Vidal (from Cristel Vidal's Nursery) to, no more, no less than 'Duc de Cambridge' (Damask, Jean Laffay, France, before 1840).
The details and references are already updated on 'Duc de Cambridge' 's profile.

We do not delete listings, but would merge it with 'Duc de Cambridge'. However, we would need published information about this identification of "Souvenir de Babuna". Meanwhile we added a note to that respect. Some photos would also be helpful for our members to comment upon, as there is also a discrepancy between the earlier statement that it was a wild species rose and the ID as a Damask by Laffay.

Valentina Cassucci was an Argentine gardener and landscaper. She curated the Palermo Rose Garden for several years and mentored the Buenos Aires international new rose competition.
She was also President of the Argentine Rose Association in the period 1994-1997 and advisor to the Santa Isabel Nursery and Meilland Austral Division (representative of Meilland Star Rose (France) in Argentina).
She was involved in the improvement and valorization of the Palermo Rose Garden, which received the "Garden of Excellence" Award in 2014 and in the creation of the Micaela Bastidas Rose Garden (Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires).
She passed away in September 2018, leaving an invaluable legacy in those who knew her within the Argentine Rose Association.

This rose was historically sold in Argentina by Vivero Vidal (Vidal Nursery, owned by Cristel Steppuhn de Vidal) as “Souvenir de Babuña”.
The rose was brought around 1904-1905 by Cristel Steppuhn 's grandmother from Ukraine, where it was found growing in the wild. Cristel Vidals 's grandparents emigrated to the valley of Río Negro and settled down in a small farm in Choele-choel, near the town of Pomona (Río Negro province, in Argentinian Patagonia).
Mrs. Vidal found this rose growing in her grandparents 's farm and managed to collect some material and multiplied it. She named it "Souvenir de Babuña", since this rose brought her many happy returns from her "babuña" (grandmother). "Babuña" means "old woman." It is a diminutive or an expression of affection, which comes from the word "baba" (grandmother, in ukrainian).

According to Mr. Jens Krüger (from Rosen Tantau) 'White Noblesse' (Tanequa) was introduced in 1992 and is likely to be a sport of 'Noblesse' (Tanselbon, 1989).
'White Noblesse' (Tanequa, 1992): Hybrid Tea/ Florist Rose. Sport of 'Noblesse' (Tanselbon, 1989).
