Jeanne Lajoie
Climbing Miniature
Origin -Sima, 1975
Parentage - 'Casablanca' x 'Independence'
Color - Pink
Foliage - Medium green
Thorns - Moderate
Size - 4' - 5 ft. high x 4' - 5' (shrub), to 8' (climbing)
Fragrance - Mild
Repeat bloom - Yes
Disease resistance - Good
Hardiness - Zone 5
The Name of the Rose - Named after the co-breeder's daughter.
This rose was introduced by Ernest Williams of Dallas, who worked on the hybridization with Dave Lajoie. The rose was named after Dave's young daughter Jeanne.
Although classified as a miniature, this is a vigorous rose which can be used several different ways. It can be grown as a large shrub (4 x 5) or trained as a climber to 8 feet. I have also heard that is does well in hanging baskets. I am growing mine on a tripod which it easily covered in one year. Subsequent growth, however, has been slow and blooms have not been as profuse as I expected. The soft pink classically shaped roses appear in early spring and throughout the summer.
