Antique, Hybrid Perpetual, Old Garden Rose 'General Jacqueminot'

I got a bareroot General Jack at a home improvement garden center in the spring of 2008. At the end of February, 2009, I have had to pru...Read Morene out the crossing canes and any dead wood. It has grown very well--in a pot so far-- and since there was no additional pruning information here at Dave's Garden, I will look elsewhere to see how much more to cut. I suppose it should bloom on new wood since it's a hybrid perpetual, and I am going to prune it back a bit over all. It rebloomed last summer. Seems quite vigorous here in central Virginia--Petersburg.

Bred in France. Won the Dowager Rose Queen award from the Winston Salem Rose Society in 2001.
