Catherine Hershey

Jalbert introduction, 2021. Floribunda. One of our very own roses that was previously known as Peach perfection has been renamed to honour Catherine Hershey. We were thrilled when the Hershey foundation choose our rose as part of her Legacy. The Catherine Hershey rose is as tough as it is beautiful! This disease-free peach rose has proven itself in long term testing to be hardy, easy care, perfect garden habit and free of rose black spot or mildew. The lavish blooms are fully double clear peach and produced in masses on a dense growing plant. Perfect for garden, cutting, containers or even a hedge rose. Superb at all stages from bud to fully open. You will love her changes of colours, more pronounced when evenings cool later summer. Scent is soft and fruity with a hint of lemon and spice. An excellent rose for filling vases! Early to bloom with quick repeat until frost.
