Can anyone explain why HMF describes this rose as a Noisette? I raise the question because it is nothing like a Noisette and the stated breeding is consistent with its appearance and fragrance i.e it is a white damask type of Bourbon rose.

Lacharme was apparently someone who believed "if you're onto a good thing, stick to it". He released at least five roses with the same parentage. They are often called Bourbon-Noisettes, presumably on a historical basis, since Boule de Neige was called a hybrid Noisette in 1880.

Thanks for the explanation, Margaret. The rose stubbornly refuses to embrace its attributed classification.

Mme Alfred de Rougement: "the French have consistently classed it as hybrid Noisette" - since 1863!

Boule' de Neige bourbon rose: Anyone growing it that can tell me if it would do okay in humid southern zone 9? And how thorny/prickly is it? Does it have a tendency to ball in humid climes?
Thanks.
