<p>The first Noisette rose was raised as a hybrid seedling by a South Carolina farmer named John Champneys. Its parents were a China rose (Probably 'Parson's Pink') and the autumn-flowering musk rose (Rosa moschata), resulting in a vigorous climbing rose producing huge clusters of small pink flowers from late spring to early autumn. John sent seedlings of his rose to his gardening friend and neighbour Philippe Noisette, who sent plants to his brother Louis in Paris, one of which produced a repeat-flowering climber ‘Blush Noisette’ (‘Noisette Carnée) in 1818, a variety which has remained popular to this day. Height is according to variety - 1.5m for the more shrubby forms, and up to 4m for the climbers. The early Noisette roses were fairly winter-hardy initially, however subsequent infusions of Tea rose genes created a 'Tea-Noisette' subclass with slightly reduced winter hardiness, but the advantage of smaller clusters of larger flowers including the well-known 'Gloire de Dijon' which is still available today.
