What customers say
The 'Jacques Cartier' rose earns high praise primarily for its powerful, intoxicating old rose fragrance. Gardeners value this variety as a vigorous and reliable bloomer, consistently producing deep pink, quartered flowers throughout the season. Its exceptional cold hardiness is a significant asset, allowing it to thrive where other roses falter. While its classic beauty and dependable repeat flowering are celebrated, a key consideration is its susceptibility to common diseases like black spot and mildew, especially in humid conditions. This necessitates proactive care for maintaining pristine foliage. Despite the required maintenance, the unparalleled scent and spectacular bloom reliability make this rose a highly recommended classic for many enthusiasts.
