A hybrid rose produced in 1817, by a French gardener,
Noisette, of Charleston, South Carolina, from the China rose and the musk rose. It has given rise to many fine varieties, as the
Lamarque, the
Marechal (or Marshal) Niel, and the
Cloth of gold. Most roses of this class have clustered flowers and are of vigorous growth.
