Notes
'Jacques Cartier' rose (Rosa 'Jacques Cartier') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and average to moist soil of most types. The compact shrub reaches about 35 to 59 inches tall. It bears fragrant light pink blooms that attract bees. Jean Desprez bred it in 1868.
