Rosa Blush Noisette Rose
Roses For The South
Rosa Blush Noisette rose, this old cultivar of roses, also known as 'Noisette Carnee', is one of the oldest
surving American roses.
It's actually a rose bush, but the long and arching canes makes it much more suitable as a climber. It's lovely
trained over an arbor, as in the picture below.
The flowering starts in june or april, depending on where you live, when huge clusters of rosy purple buds opens
into small blush pink blooms that turn lilac-pink as they age.
The fragrance is a delicate spicy scent that is quite lovely. The foilage is pale green and the new growth is
almost thornless.
The picture above is my husband Tony standing in the middle of the arbor enjoying the fragrance and beauty of this wonderful rose. It's one of his most favorite climbing roses.
This is a most decorative and wonderful rose. Not only does it flower with abundance, but it will produce
sweetly scented blooms throughout the season.
It's best suited for warmer climates as it is cold tender. In the USA, the 'Blush Noisette' roses are known
as 'Roses for the South'.
The plants exceptionally long flowering season, beautiful coloring and delicious scent makes it a particularly
great rose for a small garden.
Train it on a wall or fence, or up an arbor or pergola. You can also train it around a tri-pod or an obelisk,
which would be a great eye-catcher if placed in the middle of an island flower bed in a lawn.
The pale lilac-pink blooms look marvelous when combined both with pale blue and pink flowers, as well as
with richer purple and red flowering plants.
Zones 6-11, height 10 feet (3m).
