[From "Old Tales from an Old Rose Collector", by Pamela Ashworth Puryear (reprint from Summer 1987 issue), pp. 17-19]
In April 1980, I spotted the light pink shrub roses at Hall’s Triangle Store, in Navasota. Last summer I finally got cuttings to Mike Shoup; we named it ‘Charlemagne” in honor and appreciation of Charles Walker, who identified it as a Noisette. Charles is the Heritage Rose Group’s Southeast coordinator and, more recently, founder of the Heritage Rose Foundation, and he is a fine botanist. The buds of the rose greatly resemble those of Cecille Brunner.
