Surely this rose is named after the poet Edmund Spenser (ca. 1552-January 13, 1599), William Paul not only having a penchant for naming roses after poets ('Milton', 'Tennyson') and other writers ('Charles Lamb'), but he also discusses poet Spenser in his book The Rose Garden.

I agree too with MalinH. See the two photos I just posted:
- Mme AC has not very densely packed blooms, with petals which are more elongated
- The buds are ovoid pointed, not rounded

Thank you. I think I am seeing the difference, especially in the buds.

I tend to agree on this.
The photo John took earlier is the real-one. You might compare Yourselves Nastarana.

It would be interesting to know whether the rose photographed repeat-flowers, which Johno isn't in a position to tell us.

Great minds Margaret!
The buds look like my 'White Pet', which of course, is a sport of Félicité et Perpétue.

I am happy to remove the offending photos. The label was nailed to the post so I would assume the garden was sold an incorrect plant to begin with. I have to admit, I am finding it hard to identify the difference.

It's easy if you've grown MME. Alfred. She's quite different.

Hi Johno
Photo wasn't experienced as offending by me.
Maybe someone mixed up the labels.
And I agree with Robert Neil Rippetoe: Once growing this rose, You'll never confuse another rose for it.

'Tiamo' from Kordes is listed
'Easy Bee-zy Knock Out' is listed. Spell Bee-zy, not Beezy
Try 'Madame Anisette'. Parfuma is a marketing brand
Try 'Sunblaze Dragon Fruit'
'Synonym 'Pink Tumbleweed' added.
We will work on the rest in the coming days.

'Brick House Orange' added.
'Purple Aura' added. However, this rose might be the same as 'Belles Rives' / 'Stiletto' (MEIzolnil)
