'Rosa carbonara' rose Reviews & Comments

The 1830 reference (Catalogo Prudente Besson) quotes a “Carbonara, aigle noir” at pag 31 among the “Rosiers a feuilles caduques fleurissant une seule fois l’an.” and not among the Rosier Noisette (page 29). Again it looks as if in Italy, at that time, another Carbonara, besides the noisette, existed and it was a synonym of Aigle noir. It might be the semi-double, velvety purple rose depicted as n. 2 in the photo (capture: R: ORTENSE. Carbonara) .

We have added 'Carbonara' as a synonym of 'Aigle noir' and moved the Italian references of a dark purple rose to this listing.

The 1849 reference (Catalogo Generale Burdin) describes Carbonara as a velvet dark purple rose and lists it at page 48 and not among the Rosier Noisette (page 51). Thus it looks as if in Italy, at that time, another Carbonara, besides the noisette, existed.
