Jacques Cartier bears wonderfully ruffled, petal-packed roses of pure pink. Nicely scented, the roses appear in three flushes during the blooming season. The canes are well-covered with dark green foliage.
This rose will take some shade, but don't overdo it! Resistant to powdery mildew, but can succumb to blackspot. I'll choose carefully where I site this lovely old rose.
