This rose is considered a pillar rose; I do not have mine growing as a pillar, however. Of all the Noisettes, this one has the most "shrub-like" shape. The smell of this rose is considered to be one of the most wonderful smelling roses ever. I find it to be a bit sickly-sweet. The Noisettes are true southern roses. The first Noisette was raised in Charleston, South Carolina in 1811. It is called Champney's Pink Cluster. I have Champney's growing right next to Blush Noisette. Blush Noisette is the first rose to bear the name 'Noisette'. It was introduced in 1817.
Upon their introduction into trade, the Noisettes immediately became popular because they were remontant. That was still a rarity back then. All Noisette flowers are pale shades of cream, pink or yellow.
