Misspelling by a French nursery. However, even native English Speakers have Trouble with the Apostrophe. See the books "Apostrophe Catastrophe" or "The accidental Apostrophe"

But the breeder was American. Did he have no right of control over the rose's name?
Another good book - and very funny - is "Eats, shoots and leaves", by Lynne Truss.

Coral Pin
Took us all in.
Nobody knows
Why she'd have a rose.
We can't make it out.
What shows beyond doubt
That it has to be?
The apostrophe.
