Général Jacqueminot ('General Jack', 'Jack Rose', 'La Brillante', 'Mrs. Cleveland', 'Richard Smith', 'Triomphe d'Amiens') Roussel (France) 1853. Seedling of 'Gloire des Rosomanes'. There are at least 500 seedlings and up to 60 sports of this honored Hybrid Perpetual... most of today's red roses can trace their ancestry to it... immense, dark red flowers... occasional white streaks... the blooms do not like hot sun... Mildew and rust may be a problem. Amateur Roussel of Meudon, France named this rose for a French general of the early nineteenth century

Général Jacqueminot Hybrid Perpetual. ('General Jack'; 'The Jack Rose'; 'Richard Smith'; 'La Brillante'; 'Mrs. Cleveland'; 'Triomphe d'Amiens') There is some dispute whether the credit for its raising goes to a M. Roussel or his gardener, M. Rousselet, and just what its parents were. Probably 'Gloire des Rosomanes' x unknown. Description... one of the all-time great studs of the rose world... named for a veteran of Napoleon's wars...
