More information
The first American repeat-flowering rose became the progenitor of an entirely new race of roses—the Noisettes. Blush Noisette bears lilac-pink blooms in large clusters at the tips of long shoots, typically 20–50 per cluster. Flowers open from crimson buds and fade to nearly white at the edges. The foliage is dark with red central veins; the shoots are reddish and almost without thorns. The variety is not very tall, requires several years to reach its stated height, and directs much of its energy to the continuous formation of flowering shoots. In warm climates it flowers year-round, while remaining winter-hardy. Can be grown as a bush or as a small climbing rose.
A true Noisette rose. The flowers are semi-mossy, in dark pink, lilac, and soft pink tones, appearing in large clusters almost continuously until the first frost. Abundant dark green foliage provides cover. Almost thornless. Forms a sprawling bush up to 2 m high; when trained on a support it reaches 5 m. Tolerates semi-shade and poor soils.
This Noisette produces abundant, long-lasting clusters of fragrant flowers. Blush Noisette blooms in tight, large clusters of densely petalled flowers about 6 cm in diameter. The calyx-shaped blooms are very pale pink and, when fully open, reveal golden stamens. The scent is distinctive, spicy. Flowering usually begins in early summer and continues almost continuously through summer, often with another strong wave at the end of the season. Flexible, spiny shoots carry semi-matte bright green foliage. Performs as a shrub and as a braided/climbing rose. With light pruning, it forms a compact bush 120–150 cm tall and 80–100 cm wide. Can be used as an accent or in mass plantings as a hedge. Pairs well with softly colored perennials. Hardy, disease resistant, and tolerant of semi-shade.
Blush Noisette forms crimson buds in large, upright clusters. A notable trait is abundant bloom, especially in autumn or after heavy pruning. The flowers are small (4 cm), pale lilac-pink, fading to white at the edges, cup-shaped, densely petalled, with golden stamens in the center. They have an unusual herbal fragrance, neither sweet nor musky. The flowers are susceptible to rain damage, although the variety is very winter-hardy. Reaches 3–3.5 m. The reddish shoots are virtually thornless.
Shade-tolerant variety.
