  Noisette  \Noi*sette"\,  n.  (Bot.) 
  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.  --P.  Henderson.
