Hybrid Perpetuals...Marquise Boccella, 1842
A mild confusion surrounds this rose, since it is apparently the same plant that was sold much later under the name 'Jacques Cartier'. 'Marquise Boccella' is in constant bloom for us, one of the few members of the class to justify the "perpetual" in its name. The delicate pink flowers are flat, petal-crowded confections that sit in clusters of three atop healthy, jade green foliage. The pure sweet fragrance is delightful and the neat, erect plant will fit nicely in almost any size garden. 3 to 5 feet. Z[one]5/R/Fr[outstanding fragrance]/lp[light pink]

Jacques Cartier . (Marquise Bocella) Portland. (1842) 2-4 feet. Flowers repeatedly. (JOK-cah-TYAY)
Whether Portland or Hybrid Perpetual, this rose is worthy of any garden or rose show. It is best to enter it in a rose show under the name "Marquise Bocella" as you can use the date eligible for Dowager Queen (before 1867). The date given for Jacques Cartier is 1868, not eligible. The name, "Marquise Bocella", has been officially adopted by The American Rose Society. A compact, erect plant with closely spaced, light green foliage that encircles the blooms . . . Graham Thomas calls it, "that high shouldered look." Clear pink, 3-4 inch flowers with an intense fragrance, have so many petals they make me think of fluffy powder puffs. One of my favorite roses in the garden and for bouquets . . . and very long lasting. Edmond G. Harris, of Bellingham, Washington, wrote, ".. . by far, our greatest success has been Jacques Cartier. It simply refused to quit and is a spectacularly beautiful bush." $ 9.50
