'Jacqueline du Pré' rose Reviews & Comments

'Jaqueline du Pre' is available at High Country Roses this year. HCR nearly always sends out healthy plants. If it is part spinossima. I wonder if it prefers sandy, light soils? I had an unfortunate experience with a JdP plant a few years ago, maybe it can't tolerate acidic clay.

Rose jacqueline du pre Does not appear to be available for purchase anywhere in the US.
Would love to have a cutting at least.
Update: Heirloom Roses has it now.
Update April 2021 US zone 9b. I have had this rose, in a pot, for a couple of years now. The scent is my favorite of all my roses I love the form of the flower and its red stamens. It has at least a few blooms throughout the season. Its prickles remind me of rugosas. It is not a flower for cutting, lasting only a day, but it is a delight.

'Jacqueline du Pré' was one of my biggest disappointments in rose growing. I purchased this rose from Vintage Gardens in 1999 and 2002 and from Heirloom Roses in 2007. Every one failed to thrive and died. I only persisted in purchasing this rose since it was considered "the future of shrub roses" in some book to which I gave credence (maybe Harkness or Austin). Perhaps the clone in the USA was weak and not representative of the mother plant and died out for those vendors that sold it.

Mine, from Vintage also died and it was a disease ridden mess while still alive. I thought at the time it couldn't tolerate my climate. I don't know about hardiness because it died before winter came. It looked so pretty in the pictures. sigh

I came here to find out how its cut flowers were--thank you for providing that insight! I'll leave them on the bush :)

Jay-Jay, I was just thinking that myself. Considering its ancestry on both sides, I really think it should be considered a Hybrid Spin!

I've added Hyb Spinosissima. Thanks to you both.
