As per website - "Crepuscule means 'twilight' in French, its bloom color reminiscent of the last golden light of sunset. The Noisette class of roses were developed in Charleston, SC, by John Champneys in the early to mid-1800's and are particularly suited to conditions in the Southeast. Crepuscule is a short climber, spreading from 8-12' up a trellis or along a fence. Buds open to reveal small, intoxicatingly fragrant apricot blooms. This rose is somewhat tender, place carefully when planting in colder parts of its range. An uncommon and highly regarded rose."

"China Rose is the vigorous parent of many of today's hybrid roses and seems thankfully resistant to the diseases that plague its highly-bred progeny. The remarkable thing about this variety is the way the 2" single flowers change from buff to apricot to dark pink as they age, so one shrub will be decorated with all three colors at once! The fragrance is similar to a Tea Rose, and it blooms sporadically from spring into fall, with heavy flowering in late spring. New foliage and stems are a beautiful, deep red on a 4-6' semi-evergreen, rounded shrub form. One source indicates this plant is hardy in zone 6, but a protected location is probably necessary. Not native."

As per website - "As the late JC Raulston led the Niche bunch on a 1996 summer tour of the NCSU arboretum, he identified this as the "best Rose in the arboretum". An antique Rose found in a garden in Persia in the mid-1800's, Rosa nastarana blooms from spring to frost if deadheaded, is disease-free, and can be pruned to a shrub or you can drape this Persian princess over a wall or tresslis for a sultry effect. Beautiful clusters of small, pale pink buds open to single, white, lightly fragrant roses. This beauty couldn't come with a higher recommendation---enjoy. Not native."

As per website - "Originally found in 1714, growing near a grave on the grounds of an old fort in Natchitoches, LA, this plant found its way to Niche via Rosemary Sims. She says it's "the best landscape Rose" in New Orleans. Small, soft, double, pastel-pink blossoms appear spring through summer on 3-5' shrubby plants. The subtle blue-tinted foliage is an added enhancement; this Rose sails through the rigors of a zone 9 New Orleans summer with ease; and yes, it's fragrant too. Add to the shrub or mixed perennial border for repeat blooms all summer long and into fall. Not native."

"This is a lovely mounding Rose of 3-4' that is showered with sprays of tiny, double, pink roses in late spring. A refreshing choice cascading over a stone wall or for hot sunny banks that beg for something besides junipers, cotoneaster or liriope. The foliage stays clean all summer. An added bonus is salt-tolerance, making it a good choice for coastal gardens. It is also tolerant of a wide range of soils from heavy clay to sand. Found in 1949 in the garden of an 18th century plantation near Wilmington, NC, an area settled by Scottish and English immigrants, who brought this favorite along. Not native."

As per website - "This Rose is a beauty. It fulfills our antique Rose requirements for luscious fragrance, no-spray disease resistance and a loose rather than formal form. 'Unrootable Red China' grows in a rounded form 4-5' in height and width, blooms on and off late-spring through summer, and sits comfortably among perennials and other shrubs. The double flowers are dark pink, almost red, and emit a soft fragrance reminiscent of baby powder. Blooms are not large, but are plentiful and welcome in our gardens. From Rosemary Sims, this old New Orleans Rose has a mysterious past. Not native."
