Even though it's pronounced like Michelle, I think Michel is the French counterpart for the man's name Michael.

I believe the miniature is Michael Cholet not Michel Cholet. I have it and I bought it for my own son Michael. It's absolutely beautiful, though a little slow to start.

The correct spelling is definitely Michel Cholet.

Not many choices for Michael.

Mi-shell Show-lay is the proper french pronunciation...

If you're looking for a Michael, there is a miniature rose called Baby Michael.

I just got this one and can't wait to see it bloom!
Thanks for clarifying how to pronounce it :)

MC is my favorite mini because of the beautiful apricot color. A breeder told me it was pronounced "Mi Shell", like decobug says. Gorgeous rose!
