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

Thanks,
Mike

Hmmmm ... no, not really. You might find this, on the general subject of
phonetic spelling in English of some interest in deciding whether a
resource like the one you are asking for is even possible:

heheh.

Isn't this question like the same as doing a search with wildcards?
I don't think HelpMeFind allows wildcards but I'm not positive.

Mike, if you can't find what you need, send me a mail, I have an Excel
file with all the info to be found in the Rose Bible--names, alternate
names, breeders, colors, growth, foliage, etc., and you can search it
like any other Excel file. 16000 roses plus.
remove the x's and q's from this addy:

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.

Hi m,

Thanks for the offer, but I'm looking for pronounciation. I'm curious,
though - did you do all that work yourself? In Excel? Whew!

Hi Radika,

Amusing link. I particularly enjoyed agonizing over their
hyper-phoneticized subject headings. Argh! English is one big cluster
headache, ain't it? I believe a reference with simplified phonetic
spellings of rose names would still be helpful, though. Julie gave me a
good link to a site with audio clips of rose names - even better!

Thanks,
Mike

no, hell no. I had to get Excel to view the files though. hahahaha.
pirate radio, inside job, straight from the top of the heap. :)
all I did was get a mail from someone back in 95 (6) who actually *is quite
proficient at Excel, there's this one file which trees out any rose-- doing
Peace, I remember, took about half an hour.

that's a great link though, that you got. audio French rose names, jeez.
I actually now have another source for exactly what you want, it's a new
book, infact. But it's on my machine at work. Doesn't sound to me like
you need it anymore?

Gee, and here I thought you were this rabid rosarian with a spreadsheet
fetish... g

I think I'm set with the audio and I'm also going to look for that book
Radika mentioned in her follow-up. I've actually received better responses
than I expected (based on my own fruitless searching.) At least I know
there's hope!

Thanks,
Mike
