This picture does not confirm to the descriptions of 'Rose Nabonnand' in literature.

It looks like 'G. Nabonnand'.

You are right. I got this from Roses Unlimited years ago and there were no pictures or descriptions to suggest it was wrong, but reading the descriptions here now it seems I have the wrong rose, and it could well be Gilbert Nabonannd.. I checked the RU site and they no longer list Rose N. so perhaps they found it was mislabelled a while ago. Ashdown has a picture of Rose Nabonannd now and it seems to fit the description.

This rose was introduced as 'G. Nabonnand' and although in the intervening years we see the 'G.' replaced with 'Gilbert', 'Georges' or 'George' in various publications and catalogues, the correct name is 'G. Nabonnand'.
The stems of 'G. Nabonnand' are generally thornless (even though your hands may tell you otherwise when you handle it - there are sharp little prickles on the undersides of the leaves), so this is something worth checking.

A rose named 'Karen'. Any assistance in where I can get this rose for my sister would be appreciated. I called a florist in TN who directed me to Jackson and Perkins -who directed me here. I'm trying to get it in honor of her best friend is dying of cancer. The one listed by Stanley G. Marciel is the one I'm resonating to - Any ideas or help would be appreciated. I'm not in the league of persons on this site, I'm just trying to help my sister start a rose garden, she's always wanted to and I thought this would be the perfect bond. Lisa

Good morning Lisa,
I'm sorry, but we do not know of anyone carrying the rose named "Karen" at this time. My recommendation woudl be to look in your local rose gardens, and see if you can find this rose. It does not appear to be patented, take cuttings, and try to propogate them.
Regards,
Alan

There is a rose available called 'Karen Poulsen'. It is the same as 'Bailey's Red.' It is a healthy shrub with single very bright red roses.
Another I saw in the database was Karen Blixen, a white hybrid tea.
Kind of surprising that there aren't more roses with the name Karen.

I would llike to find very fragrant roses that are free of black spot disease. I don't use insecticides. All roses I grew died of black spot disease.
I would appreciate hearing from any grower of fragrant roses living in hot, humid summer zones.

Unfortunately, most of the really blackspot-resistant roses tend to be the less fragrant ones. Here are a few suggestions.
One really good one is Louis Philippe, a china with a very nice perfume.
Another is Maggie, a bourbon. It is very fragrant. It does get some blackspot, but not terrible and many people in the southeastern US, where it is very humid and hot, grow it successfully without spraying.
Basye's Blueberry has a fantastic fragrance. It does blackspot, but mine blooms and does fine anyway without any spraying at all.
