Hi
Last summer I did few crossings. This juvenile bloom is from the cross Lac Majeau x John Cabot.

That looks a potentially very interesting rose. Love to see a later bloom which may be even more double and larger.
This offspring surprised me. It raised four buds. This is the first one opened. Bloom has nice shape and color. I look forward to seeing how it thrives here in northern Finland (zone 2, Finnish zone 5, 64°48.5′N, 025°25′E, at the same latitude as Fairbanks Alaska).
Only used to John Cabot as pollen parent on Merveille (2022).
Crosses readily germinated, (there were lots of seedlings, numbers high for my experience) but for the most part seedlings were tender in my zone 4A Cdn prairies winter.
Except one perhaps a couple more.
The good one had flexible canes so essentially buried by snow and good survival in spring 2026. Winters 2023,2024,2025/6.
No blooms todate. Spring 2026 about 4 days ago, plant to left of red tag. Hopefully by conference 2027 it blooms.
