Notes:
The rose currently sold as 'Minette' is identical to 'Rosa x suionum' in Scandinavia, to 'Dornenlose Kreiselrose' (thornless turbinata) in Germany and possibly to 'Banshee-Rose' in USA.

The Swedish Rose Society recommends Minette for northern Sweden.
Corn Hill Nursery says 'Minette' is perhaps the toughest, longest-lived of the albas. They still find this rose growing on abandoned farms untended for decades. It has healthy foliage and double light pink flowers that darken toward the center...

. Vibert classed 'Minette' as a hybrid centifolia - see References
