Description:
Introduced in 1817, 'Blush Noisette' was the first rose to bear the Noisette name, but not the first Noisette; 'Champneys' Pink' garners this honor.

Noisettes are American born and bred; 'Champneys' Pink', the first Noisette, a cross between Rosa maschata and Old Blush (also known as Parsons' Pink China, and was also a parent of the Bourbons), was bred in Charleston, South Carolina in 1811. John Champneys shared cuttings and seeds with Philippe Noisette, who shipped young seedlings to his brother, Louis, in Paris, France.  Louis hybridized new plants and introduced them as Noisette roses with great success. Of interest is that the original Noisette, 'Champneys' Pink', was lost to commerce for many years until found again in the early 1970's.
