On the Rose Hybridizers Association site I asked: "Someone should inform HMF the size traits of Lac Majeau for their areas. I noticed it was missing. I grew a relation of it once, Marie Bugnet, but I have a feeling MB is smaller in habit."

One poster answered: "Bonjour Pacificjade,
Here are some characteristics of my Lac Majeau plant. It is nearly 5 feet tall, the stems are grayish and 90% spineless, and no disease. It is very floriferous and slightly remontant. It is very fruitful and a very good seed producer. I got several seedlings that are not very spiny and even some completely spineless. On the other hand, I had less luck with its pollen but I continue to do tests. It is a trouble-free and superb white rose."


Corn Hill Nursery lists it as Zone 2. They list it as 2M. Rose Nursery Kalbus of Germany lists it as 1.5M to 2M, w/ 6-8cm blooms. Plantasjen of Norway concurs that it is near-prickleless.

The European sites stated fragrances that did not make sense from prior Canadian rugosa/briar hybrid types to my nose, so I disregarded those references as "lost in language translation". They do state that there is fragrance, but not if it is moderate of strong.

I hope this helps anyone.

I have been growing a Lac Majeau Rose for five years in Fairbank, Alaska. I have found it to be the most reliable and winter hardy in my garden. It is has the lovliest buds which are tinged with red, it's ever-blooming and sports big round red hips all winter long. Very fragrent, and disease resistant. My only complaint is that I haven't been able to find another. Is this Cinderella Ragosa the best kept secret known only to myself, or is there another admirer out there?

I grow Lac Majeau in my garden in the Fingerlakes region of central NY (Zone 5). It is my favorite white rugosa.
