More information
Jacques Cartier is suitable for cold climates and limited space. This vintage rose is winter-hardy, blooms abundantly, and bears deep pink flowers (slightly lighter on the reverse of the petals) with numerous small petals surrounding a central button. Unlike many vintage roses, it tolerates rain well because the petals shed water. Flowers appear in dense clusters of up to 5, suitable for cutting. It blooms repeatedly about every six weeks until winter; removing spent blooms speeds the next flush. It responds well to watering and fertilising. The bush is narrow, compact, and erect; it combines well with other plants, can be pruned low, and is suitable for container growing.
Some consider that this name is currently applied to the cultivar Marchesa Boccella. The bush can grow quite tall, especially in hot climates. It is evenly shaped and carries dark green foliage with very good disease resistance. The flowers are borne in dense clusters, sometimes with a button in the centre, and have a strong, sweet fragrance.
