Wondering if someone can comment on the character of the prickles on Karl Foerster. The plant I purchased as 'Karl Foerster' doesn't seem to have Spin prickles.

I wonder about the registered spelling of ´Karl Förster', is it really the original spelling? It was named for the plantsman Karl Foerster of Bornim, Potsdam. Both father and daughter Foerster spelt with oe.

Member makida seems to be right. See: https://www.foerster-stauden.de/
But in an earlier comment for this rose (Discussion id : 72-041 12 JUN 13), Jedmar clarifies this issue.

article Roses Immune, or Nearly So to Blackspot", by Chester D. Wedrick, Simcoe, Ontario
American Rose Magazine, August 1953, p.19

"One rose that should not be overlooked is Karl Forster, the result of a cross of Frau Karl Druschki and R. spinossisima altica simplex. It is a fair sized shrub bearing large, snow-white, camellia-like blooms throughout the whole season and seems free of all disease. Last but not least, it can withstand a temperature as low as 25 below zero successfully, without protection."

That would be 25 degrees F.

Thanks Nastarana. I've changed the zone from 6a to 4b. Is that OK? (I am not very good with zones.)
