I need to rephrase my earlier post. I am searching for Louis or Louise , Betty, Madeline, Martha, and Rita or Reta Bugnet Roses. These were all bred by the late Georges Bugnet from Canada. These were once in the Commercial Commerce but have fallen out. I know Ashdown Roses has Louis as I am currently wait listed for it. Therese and Marie Bugnet are Iron Clad Hardy for me here in Alaska. Growing Roses here can be a challenge at times and is why I am seeking these other Bugnet Roses. Georges Bugnet used R. accicularis in many of his crosses and is the wild species rose here in Alaska. Does anyone know who might carry these Roses? or does anyone know who might have these in thier private Garden ?

Sundog, I had another idea, although I don't know if these roses will be any more available than the hybrid rugosas you are looking for. I also don't know if they will be as hardy.
Look at the descendants of Rosa acicularis under the Lineage tab here:

There is quite a list of interesting hybrids and a few more suppliers.

I have heard of a nursery near Anchorage which sold some Bugnet roses. Contact the Alaska Rose Society for help also.

I am a member and past Board member of the Ak Rose Society. The nursery you mentioned I know of and only has one they sell as Mrs. George Bugnet, which i have. Interesting though there is no mention of a rose named by this in Georges Bugnet list of hybridized roses nor is it listed in Modern Roses 10.
