Louis Claude Noisette (2 November 1772 – 9 January 1849) was a French horticulturist and botanist recognized for his contribution to the cultivation and hybridization of plants, especially roses.

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

Life and career

Noisette was born in Châtillon, a suburb of Paris, France. He was the son of Joseph Noisette, the head gardener to the Count of Provence (later King Louis XVIII of France). Noisette had two brothers: Antoine Noisette, a botanist who managed the botanical garden in Nantes, France, and Philippe Noisette, an important figure in the American horticulture scene.

Noisette began his career as an infantryman for the French military. He worked there for two years before moving into horticulture at an age of 23.

He took over the Val-de-Grâce Botanical School after his military service, but it closed after 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 on 9 January 1849, at an age of 76.

The Noisette rose

Noisette is known for his role in developing the Noisette rose (Rosa x Noisettiana). This hybrid rose originated from seeds sent to him by his brother Philippe from South Carolina. 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'.

Contributions and recognition

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.

Nikolaus II, Prince Esterházy, commissioned him to landscape his estate in Austria.

The genus Noisettia, a small flowering plant native to tropical America, was named in his honor.

His publication “Le Jardin Fruitier"(1821), which consisted of 90 hand coloured engravings of fruit trees, was a definitive source in its time on the cultivation, history, and uses of fruit trees.

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