This picture does not confirm to the descriptions of 'Rose Nabonnand' in literature.

It looks like 'G. Nabonnand'.

You are right. I got this from Roses Unlimited years ago and there were no pictures or descriptions to suggest it was wrong, but reading the descriptions here now it seems I have the wrong rose, and it could well be Gilbert Nabonannd.. I checked the RU site and they no longer list Rose N. so perhaps they found it was mislabelled a while ago. Ashdown has a picture of Rose Nabonannd now and it seems to fit the description.

This rose was introduced as 'G. Nabonnand' and although in the intervening years we see the 'G.' replaced with 'Gilbert', 'Georges' or 'George' in various publications and catalogues, the correct name is 'G. Nabonnand'.
The stems of 'G. Nabonnand' are generally thornless (even though your hands may tell you otherwise when you handle it - there are sharp little prickles on the undersides of the leaves), so this is something worth checking.
