Thanks in advance!

One of the favorites in my garden. Such a monster climber! Not sure how to
spell this, but it's pronounced Se-seal Broo-nay.
Cécile Brünner is the proper spelling. She is a woman and is pronounced as follows: say-seal brew-nay. Exagerate the brew and the nay.
The Consulting Rosarian at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, CA USA asked me to spread the word on how to spell her.
The e with the acent over it is pronounced as an A. The u with the accent is a hard sound and is exagerated in the pronounciation. Very French I must say.
I actually have members of our local Society correct me, I just ignore them.
