Hybrid Perpetuals - Marchessa Boccella
1842
A mild confusion surrounds this rose, since it is apparently the same plant
that was also sold much later under the name Jacques Cartier. Marchesa
Boccella is in constant bloom for us, one of the few members of the class
to justify the "perpetual" in its name. The delicate pink flowers are
flat, petal-crowded confections that sit in clusters of three atop healthy, jade
green foliage.
