The standard author abbreviation Nois is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.

Noisette was born in Paris, France, into a family with a strong tradition in gardening and botany.

Life and career

[edit]

Born in Châtillon, France, Noisette began his career in the military as an infantryman for two years before moving into horticulture at age 23.[2] Following his military service, he assumed responsibility for the Val-de-Grâce Botanical School, which was subsequently closed within a few years. In 1795, he became a gardener at Val-de-Grâce but left this role in 1798. In 1806, he, along with his brothers, set up a botanical facility where they grew a wide variety of plants, with a focus on roses.

Noisette died in 1849.

The Noisette rose

[edit]

Noisette is known for his role in developing the Noisette rose (Rosa x Noisettiana).[3] This hybrid rose originated from seeds sent by his brother Philippe from South Carolina.[4] Philippe had crossed a Rosa x 'Old Blush' plant, obtained from Louis Claude, with Rosa moschata, resulting in 'Champneys' Pink Cluster'. Louis Noisette subsequently created 'Blush Noisette', the first Noisette rose, by sowing seeds of 'Champneys' Pink Cluster'.[5]

Contributions and recognition

[edit]

Noisette introduced and distributed rare American and Indian plants to France. His contributions were recognized in 1840, when he was awarded the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.

His influence extended beyond France, with Nikolaus II, Prince Esterházy, commissioning him to landscape his extensive estate in Austria.

The genus Noisettia, comprising small flowering plants native to tropical America, was named in his honor. Additionally, a garden at the Palace of Versailles bears his name as a tribute to his significant contributions to horticulture. [citation needed]
