David Ruston. The ninth conference was held at Charleston in the United States in October 200192. My hostess was Ruth Knopf, one of the world experts on Teas, Noisettes and China roses. I was most impressed with the use of Noisette roses in the gardens of the lovely old homes in the centre of the city still unspoilt by modern development. There were also great Noisette collections at Hampton Park and Boone Hall.
