Jeanne Lajoie Climbing Miniature; E.P. Sima, 1975Date Planted: 1991 Source: Local nursery
Jeanne LaJoie is an absolutely remarkable climbing miniature rose which will eventually reach a height of ten feet or more! It can also be grown
as an arching free-standing shrub of about 8 feet tall. Jeanne Lajoie is a big girl!The blooms are a clear, medium pink, often with good form. The outside of the petals are often a darker pink, and
the whole bloom can get a much deeper pink in the Fall, when the temperature gets cooler. She can tolerate quite a bit of cold weather before shutting down for the winter.
The first flush in the spring is mostly on the previous years wood, but later in the year the bush puts out blooms on both old and new wood for repeated flushes all
summer long. The foliage is small, glossy and quite pretty. Disease resistance is excellent. Even if she didn't repeat, she would make a nice looking shrub. Her only real flaw is a lack of fragrance. To see more photos, visit the Photo Gallery
