Does anyone know of a website or other reference that offers phonetic
spelling of rose names?


The Wayside catalog has the phonetic spelling of the French named roses they
sell. (Haven't seen it myself, just read about it.)
If it's the pronounciation your looking for try:
http://membres.lycos.fr/jardinderose...rameset-46.htm If you scroll to
the bottom on the left, you can click and the name of several roses is
pronounced. You'll have to turn your speakers up quite loud.
