'John Cabot' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:

In September 1998, the Montreal Botanical Garden (Le Jardin Botanique de Montreal) carried out a survey of its roses' resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust. This was one of the outstanding varieties which showed a 0% to 5% infection rate. The data were taken on well-established roses.

In recent years in some parts of the northern midwestern states of the USA, such as Minnesota and Wisconsin, 'John Cabot' has been hit hard by a variety of leaf spot diseases.

Dr. Felicitas Svejda states the parentage to be: R. kordesii x ('Masquerade' x R. laxa) open pollination [Elliott]

('Masquerade' x 'R. laxa') was supplied by Robert Simonet. He eventually named it 'Pink Masquerade'.
