Musk Rose

• [From Climbing Roses, by Stephen Scanniello, p. 14:] The musk rose holds an important place in the history of climbing roses. Before the nineteenth century it was one of the few roses that could be used as a climber; although it is not commonly cultivated today, its blood lives on in the Noisettes, a class of rose that originated from the accidental crossing of a China rose and a musk rose.
• [From Growing Old-Fashioned Roses, by Trevor Nottle, p. 21: Musk Roses are] a race of roses bred in England by the Reverend Joseph Pemberton between 1912 and 1939 with the expressed aim of obtaining roses which would provide a continuous and bountiful display of bloom for the garden on bushes that were free growing and healthy. The good Reverend also held fragrance to be of great import...

The Mystery of the Musk Rose by Graham Stuart Thomas
...
Johannes Herrmann's Dissertatio inauguratis botanico medico de Rosa, 1762, gives a full description in Latin of "R. moschata" and states that it flowers in autumn. Philip Miller produced the 8th edition of his The Gardener's Dictionary in 1768; he calls his Musk Rose "R. moschata", with a synonym "R. moschata major". The latter is a name used in a vague description by J. Bauhin in 1651 (Hisforiae plantarum universalis). Likewise Aiton, Horfus Kewensis, 1789; Jacquin, Plantarum rariorum borti Schonbrunnensis, 1797; we may go on, looking at Roessig, 1802-20; Andrews, 1805; Dumont de Courset, 1811; Redoute, 1817-24, and lastly at Loudon's Hortus Britannicus, 1850; all repeat the late season of flowering and, where such particulars are included, all state the oval leaf and the height roughly from 7 to 12 feet — sometimes not specifically given but compared with the Sweet Brier — and the native habitat is variously ascribed to Spain, Madeira, Barbary. Although many of the drawings are not recognizable and the descriptions are not careful in the oldest books, I think the above all amounts to a fairly clear picture of a "Musk Rose" imported from South-western Europe, North Africa or Madeira, grown in gardens for its sweet scent and late-flowering character and being used to cover arbours or to make a fair-sized shrub. Apart from a few Autumn Damask roses this would have been the only rose to have flowered late in the season, and as such would have been greatly treasured. To this we must add that "R. moschata" in any form was the only rose that could be called 'climbing' in those early days of gardening in Britain, for none of its Far East relatives had been introduced, and "R. phoenicea", "R. arvensis", and "R. sempervirens", if cultivated, were of little value, though the second was well known in the hedgerows. It was therefore a very important garden plant, and was listed by nurserymen; W. Masters of Canterbury (1831) mentions the double form flowering in September and October, and William Paul (1848) writes 'abundant blooms, especially in the autumn'; Thomas Rivers (1845) includes "R. moschata" in his 'autumnal rose garden'. He adds some further details, stating that there was in the early days of the French Republic a rose tree at Ispahan (Persia), called' the Chinese Rose Tree, fifteen feet high . . . seeds were sent to Paris and produced the common Musk Rose ... large and very old plants of the "Musk Rose" may sometimes be seen in the gardens of old English country houses'. Other writers also mention this plant. Though it could have been a hybrid it was more likely to have been the original "Musk Rose".

From Brent Dickerson:

"Just after 1800, John Champneys of Charleston, South Carolina, crossed a pink China (traditionally supposed to be "Parsons' Pink") with the Musk Rose "R. moschata", and obtained a large-growing shrub with clusters of lightly fragrant pink blossoms, "Champneys' Pink Cluster". A neighbor there, "Philippe Noisette", planted its seeds and grew a plant which was similar but dwarfer, and which had larger clusters of doubler flowers, "Blush Noisette". Philippe Noisette's brother happened to be a major French nurseryman in Paris, and it was through this latter that the rose found commercial release around 1815.

Noisette

The first Noisette rose was raised as a hybrid seedling by a South Carolina rice planter named John Champneys. Its parents were the China Rose "Parson's Pink" and the autumn-flowering musk rose ("Rosa moschata"), resulting in a vigorous climbing rose producing huge clusters of small pink flowers from spring to fall. Champneys sent seedlings of his rose (called "Champneys' Pink Cluster") to his gardening friend, "Philippe Noisette", who in turn sent plants to his brother Louis in Paris, who then introduced "Blush Noisette" in 1817. The first Noisettes were small-blossomed, fairly winter-hardy climbers, but later infusions of Tea rose genes created a Tea-Noisette subclass with larger flowers, smaller clusters, and considerably reduced winter hardiness. Examples: "Blush Noisette", "Lamarque" (Noisette); "Mme. Alfred Carriere", "Marechal Niel" (Tea-Noisette). (See French and German articles on Noisette roses)
