The rose distributed by the english nursery Paul & Son as 'Pissardii' and now in commerce as 'Nastarana' is not this rose. 'Nastarana' is cluster-flowered while R. moschata var. Christ = R. pissarti Carr. has solitary flowers emitting directly from the cane and arranged in a spiral form - see Photos.
