History of Garden Roses
Hybrid China, Portland and Bourbon roses
Noisette
The Noisette group are derived from a cross between Rosa
moschata and
'Old Blush China ' made by John Champneys of Charleston,
S. Carolina, in about 1802. Seedlings from the resulting
hybrid were raised by a Charleston nurseryman Philippe Noisette and sent
to France where they were developed. One, which flowered repeatedly, was
named 'Blush Noisette' which when crossed with 'Parks' yellow china produced
the yellow Tea Roses and also the Tea Noisettes.
Hybrid Perpetual
Hybrid Perpetuals are a mixture of Bourbons, Portlands and other existing
groups, bred to produce large, full flowers on robust plants. They are very
vigorous and in late summer produce tall new shoots which, when pegged down,
flower along their entire length in the following season. The results of
this practice made them very popular in the late 19th century.
Hybrid Perpetuals crossed with Tea Roses formed the Hybrid
Tea group.
