As fragrant as 'Champneys Pink Cluster', this first rose to bear the Noisette name is charming in its own right. The blush white flowers are cupped and double, appearing frequently throughout the growing season but especially in great abundance in the fall. William Paul, the 19th-century nurseryman reported, "I have seen these roses blooming unchecked amid the early storms of winter." 'Blush Noisette' is one of the few Noisettes which maintains a nice bush form while displaying blousy flowers for which Noisettes are known. This rose is ideally suited as a free-standing specimen or as a pillar rose.

Bolero is a must have rose, perfect for gardens of any size! Bolero produces beautiful, full, white double flowers with a tinge of pink. The flowers contrast wonderfully against the glossy dark green foliage. Bolero is a reliable repeat bloomer, with a fragrance reminiscent of sweet citrus and floral notes. This rose is slower to grow but it’s relatively disease resistant and has a fairly compact growth habit.

If you are looking for a darker accent color for your garden, perhaps ‘Bon Silene’ is the rose for you. Loose, double flowers of a deep rose pink unfurl from the classic long-pointed buds. The broad, multi-branched bush provides sweetly scented blooms throughout the season.

This Australian bred rose by Alister Clark produces a full (50 petals) fragrant rose on a very small, compact shrub. Like most Polyanthas, ' Borderer' blooms throughout the growing season and is very disease resistant. It is ideally suited as a container rose or planted in the front of a perennial border where its striking color of pink with a touch of salmon can be enjoyed.

This is probably the best rose in the Veranda® series; at least the brightest, hence its name, 'Brilliant™ Veranda'®. The very full flowers are intensely showy like a coral beacon. Plants are sturdy to three feet making this rose a perfect container plant or useful in a mixed planting.

The Noisette heritage of this charming rose shows up in both the fragrance and the larger, very double flowers of rich, muted apricot. Dark red new shoots are characteristic of this versatile plant, which can be grown as a low, spreading shrub or as the perfect pillar rose. ‘Buff Beauty’ improves its floral display with each year. If grown as a climber, this rose will reach 8 to 10 feet.

Light pink buds open to clusters of pure white, two inch, single flowers that are borne in such profusion, making this rose the ultimate landscape rose. This prolific blooming rose creates the perfect showstopper for small borders while attracting bees and butterflies as it naturalizes in our beds. This hardy rose can reach 4 feet wide while only 2 feet tall but looks its best when kept at 2 feet.  'Butterfly Bliss' can also be planted in a large container if spaces is limited.

'Cadenza' is an excellent candidate for cutting and drying, as it tends to maintain its red coloration and doesn't blacken with age. Clusters of ruffled red petals which fade slightly to burgundy are supported on strong stems. The bush is upright and angular with large glossy leaves and gives no indication of insect or disease problems. Prior to us identifying this rose, we sold this rose as the found rose, "Annie's Red."

This everblooming rose, "Caldwell Pink", is one of the most popular roses with landscape designers in our area. Its double, lilac-pink flowers form clusters that can be seen at a distance, and the compact bush fills out nicely with a minimum of pruning and maintenance. It is not very particular about soil conditions but prefers a sunny open space. Some rosarians have suggested that this is the old China rose, ‘Pink Pet’, but we feel that it shows traces of wichuraiana or multiflora heritage and fits more naturally in the Polyantha class. The study name comes from a neighboring town, Caldwell, Texas, where this rose was found.

Thought to be a cross between R. rugosa and some form of R. chinensis, 'Calocarpa' blooms with large single-petaled, fragrant flowers of a rich rose pink. This is a good choice for a tall hedge in the six to eight-foot range. An abundant crop of showy, pendulous hips will decorate the bush in fall and winter.

We discovered our favorite found rose "Katy Road Pink" was in fact 'Carefree Beauty.' Forming an open, but extremely graceful bush, 'Carefree Beauty' appears to have few insect or disease problems and is not particular about soil or growing conditions. It is free blooming, probably one of the most floriferous pink roses that we grow, with new buds appearing all the time. Large hips are a nice treat!

'Caroline Hunt' is a large, chunky shrub with a relaxed growth habit. The flowers are heavy on the bush much like bells. It blooms throughout the growing season. Lineage consists of 'Francis Dubreuil', 'Carefree Beauty' and 'Old Blush'

Perfectly shaped, little pink buds earned 'Cecile Brunner' its nickname, "The Sweetheart Rose." It is a treasure and should be in every garden where it will bloom from mid-Spring until frost. The bush form remains compact, putting up sprays of lightly fragrant flowers that look like tiny, high-centered Hybrid Teas. Long-lived and healthy, 'Cecile Brunner' tolerates everything from poor soil to partial shade.

'Celine Forestier's' flowers are "chameleon-like" as they radiate from pale pink centers to soft yellow outer petals. The knotted flower center and distinct green eye also add to its uniqueness. Once it has become established, the stiff canes of the vigorous climber can easily reach 15 feet. This rose is best grown as a pillar or fanned out against a wall or high fence to display its flowers throughout the season. A strong, spicy scent accompanies the lovely flowers that can appear in every season.

After being lost to commerce for many years, this earliest Noisette was re-identified from a plant sent to the Huntington Botanical Gardens of California in the early 1970s. The clusters of small, light pink, double flowers of 'Champney's Pink Clusters' carry one of the sweetest perfumes in the rose world. Our plant puts up vigorous shoots with narrow, graceful leaves that are occasionally susceptible to blackspot. It makes a handsome, rather mounding shrub, or it can be displayed on a pillar, fence, or trellis. Any garden would be enriched by the beauty, scent, and history of this rare old Southern antique.

A native of southern China and Taiwan, this rose was introduced early to North America and has now become thoroughly established here. It was first botanically described from a specimen growing in Georgia and is that state's official flower. 'The Cherokee Rose' is a mounding bush to about 5 feet, or a thickly foliaged climber to 15 feet with neat, apple-green leaves. In the spring, fragrant, pure white, 5-petaled flowers appear and cleanly drop their petals to disclose star-shaped sepals. It is one of the best for naturalizing in the South since it does not sucker (unlike the 'Macartney Rose', with which it is often confused) and offers an outstanding floral display in return for very little care.

Also known as the ‘Chinquapin Rose’ and ‘Burr Rose’, this very double, garden form of R. roxburghii was introduced before the wild, single form because the interior of China was inaccessible to Europeans in the early 1800s. William Roxburgh, an assistant surgeon to the East India Co., came across this rose in a garden in Canton, China, where it had been grown for generations as ‘Hoi-tong-hong’. He sent it to the Calcutta Botanic Garden. From there it reached England in 1820 and quickly traveled on to America. We find it lingering in many old Southern gardens. The ‘Chestnut Rose’ is unique in many ways. The pink, lightly fragrant flowers open from mossy-looking buds irregularly throughout the growing season and are followed by bristly, globular hips that resemble chestnut burrs. The odd, pale brown bark of the branches, combined with leaves divided into many small leaflets (as many as 15), makes this rose a fascinating specimen plant, especially if allowed to reach its mature size.

This rose was one of the first roses to be involved in the promotional marketing of a consumer product, the Chrysler Imperial car. We can only hope those car owners enjoyed their Chrysler Imperial as much as we love ours! Lovely, long pointed buds open to globular flowers of dark velvety red. The 4-5 inch blooms contain a strong citrus scent .'Chrysler Imperial blooms are a must in any of our flower arrangements as we enjoy the striking color and the heavenly fragrance. The bush is nicely shaped with semi-glossy foliage.

'Cinco de Mayo' makes a nicely compact shrub to three feet. Where you need drama in your garden is where you would place 'Cinco de Mayo'. The flowers are an unusual color of smokey lavender and rusty red to orange and with colder temperatures, it will get even smokier. The foliage is dark olive green with purple new growth. Ideal for container planting or when used in mass plantings.

‘Clotilde Soupert’ reminds us of the Bourbon rose, ‘Souvenir de la Malmaison,’ only smaller. The flower is a rounded, cabbagey rose of creamy white with the very palest touches of pink in the center of its 100 petals which enfold its fine perfume. The compact growth habit and exquisite bloom make up for the tendency to ball in humid weather.
