Inventor: Keith W. Zary (Thousand Oaks, CA). Assignee: Bear Creek Gardens, Inc. (Medford, OR). Shrub rose plant with dark green, glossy foliage; vigorous, upright growth habit; fragrant flower with rapid petal drop; ability to root and grow from hardwood cuttings; resistance to disease; and production of bright orange hips... Parentage: unnamed seedling x JACsedi (US Plant Pat. No. 9172)... The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the excellent hardwood cutting rooting ability, the clean petal drop, and vigorous well-branched growth habit of the unnamed lavender shrub female parent combined with the very glossy foliage, purple flowers, and fragrance of the male parent... JACpursh also produces green fruit turning in August and September to orange. These fruit are substantially spherical (3/4" in diameter) and contain up to twenty seeds. Production of fruit does not prevent continued flowering. Fruit is persistent until late November in Somis, California, when it drops... blooms appear in clusters of five to nine flowers...
