Varieties. There are numerous varieties and
The following are quite distinct ; and may each be considered the type of
a long list of subvarieties ; —
at 11. i. 2 Noisett\h.x\3. Ser. in Dec. Prod. ii. p. 600., Don's Mill. ii. p. 581. ;
fig. 609. aboye. — Stem firm, and, as well as the branches, prickly.
Stipules nearly entire. Flowers panicled, very numerous, semidouble,
pale red. Sta les exserted. Raised in North America, from an
accidental cross between l ì . índica and R . rnoschata, and the plants
being sold to Philip Noisette, his name was given to this variety.
I t was first brought to England by Mr. Fraser. This weli-known
and very beautiful rose is almost invaluable in a shrubbery, from its
free and vigorous growth, and the profusion of its flowers, which are
continually being produced during the whole summer. Numerous
subvarieties have been raised o f the Noisette rose, some of the
most distinct of which are, th e R. i. N. purpùrea of Redoute, which
has red flowers ; R. i. N . nivea, the Aimé Vil e rt o f the French
nurseries, which has double white flowers ; R. i.
N . Smith«, Smith’s yellow Noisette rose, the
flowers of which are very double, o f a deeper
yellow than the double yellow China rose (R . i.
ochroleùca), and disposed in clustered corymbs
o f from 10 to 22, and are highly fragrant.
