Notes:
See the July 2007 HMF eZine, Nicole or Hannah Gordon?
Nicole and Hannah Gordon are sister seedlings that have been confused in commerce in the USA for more than 20 years. Hannah Gordon is a tall, vigorous grower of 6 feet or more, about 20 petals, and a bright cherry pink edge, while Nicole is a modest plant of 30 to 36 inches, cream blooms with a softer pink edge and at least 35 petals. Hannah Gordon is known in New Zealand as Raspberry Ice. Tabris is a name given to Hannah Gordon by one seller in the Netherlands.

To confuse matters further, Glenda Marie, a third rose that is a sport of Hannah Gordon that was registered in 1999, has been sold as Nicole by Edmunds. Glenda Marie has shrimp pink blooms but is otherwise a tall, vigorous grower like Hannah Gordon.

Raspberry Ice was removed from the Auckland Regional Botanic Gardens (ARBG) Display Trial because its trial period expired.
