[5] 'Blush Noisette' arose as a seedling from the light pink rose hybrid 'Champney's Pink Cluster', introduced by Champneys around 1811 (synonym 'Champneyana'),[6] and was the first frost-hardy climber flowering repeatedly, giving the cultivar importance as a parent rose.

The dainty, cupped, semi-double to double flowers appear solitary and in tight clusters on long, smooth stems.

Their colour changes from crimson buds to pale lilac pink and fades to pinkish white in mature petals.

[3] The dense shrub has long arching shoots with a reddish colour, very few prickles,[7] and many soft, glossy leaves.

[1][2] It can be grown solitary, in dense hedges,[3] or with some support be trained as a climber and is well suited for obelisk trellises.
