"Moulton Noisette" rose References
Website/Catalog (2005) Page(s) 10. “Moulton Noisette” (Found, Introducer/Date Unknown) Dr. Charles Walker wrote of this rose: "The Moulton Noisette came from the Reeves/Moulton home, [Macon, Georgia]. It was there in the early 1900s (1911?) when the Thomas Benjamin Reeves family moved in. Mary Reeves . . . told me about it and gave me a cutting . . . Her family called it The Sweetheart Rose. But I knew it was one of the early Noisettes.” Very fragrant blooms offer a “Rose and Honeysuckle” fragrance. Willowy canes adapt to growth as a climber, or as a large, fountaining or weeping shrub. A great rose for those who love the versatile Noisette in all of its forms. Pale pink blooms on a large Shrub.
