I am searching for additional varieties of roses to put in my gardens over
the 
next year or two at my house.  There are two classes of roses I am interested 
in and I will address each separately.  The first is the Noisette.  This rose 
class which has its origins in the US ca. 1811 has characteristics which seem 
well suited for the hot and humid climate here in Houston TX (zone 9a Upper 
Texas Gulf Coast). There are 6 varieties which I would like to hear some 
comments on.  Here they are:

	1. La Biche (1832)
	2. Frazer's Pink Musk (found Noisette)
	3. Al Moise (found Tea-Noisette)
	4. Natchitoches Noisette (found)
	5. Deschamps (1877)
	6. Fellenberg (prior to 1835)

These are the varieties I have a principal interest in for which I have very 
little information.  There are others which I am interested in but I already
have adequate descriptions and evaluations (for now).  The others that I am 
considering are Blush Noisette, Lamarque, Jaune Deprez (for short) and 
Crepuscule.

My next question will be on Hybrid Musks which might thrive in Houston.
