Knopf's Mignonette, Ruth Knopf's Mignonette, Peppermint China all appear to be the same unidentified small flowered "China/Noisette". Has been found in Virginia, South Carolina, Louisiana and Texas. Found in Charleston, SC and reintroduced by Ruth Knopf, before 1988. Spreading, rounded shrub 3-4' hight and as wide or wider. Green stems with few thin light brown prickles. New foliage tinted red, small. Buds rounded. Flowers double with rather stubby petals. Flowers appear striped bush and white, actualy bordered and dotted pink on white. Hep small and round.
