Pierre Notting
{{Short description|Luxembourgish gardener (1825–1895)}}
Pierre Notting (1825 – 1895) was a Luxembourgish rosarian known for his breeding of rose cultivars.
In 1855, in association with his friend Jean Soupert, he established the "Soupert & Notting" company specializing in growing roses in Limpertsberg. During the next years, and as from 1861, "Soupert & Notting" obtained medals at international competitions in France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
In 1874, Jean Pernet, père from Lyon dedicated them a moss rose: "Soupert & Notting".
Pierre Noting died in Luxembourg in 1895. His death was commemorated with an apricot-colored tea rose, called “Souvenir de Pierre Notting”, which in 1899 obtained a great gold medal in Ixelles, followed in 1903 by first prizes in Maastricht and Douai.[http://www.luxembourg.co.uk/rose_research.doc The luxembourgish rose patrimony / the roses of Soupert & Notting.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070607021526/http://www.luxembourg.co.uk/rose_research.doc |date=2007-06-07 }}
