'Champneys' Pink Cluster' shows how close the links between French and American rose fanciers had become. Brothers Louis and Philippe Noisette owned nurseries in Paris and Charleston, South Carolina, respectively. Roses moved between the two. John Champneys, a wealthy farmer in Charleston, crossed some plants he had bought from Louis: Rosa moschata and a China monthly. He called the best of his seedlings 'Champneys' Pink Cluster'. This was soon sent to France. Philippe himself used either Champneys' rose, or similar crosses, to produce a charming double lilac-pink climber, low on perfume, but flowering well into November.
