| Jean Mermoz |
I lost two roses over the winter and decided not to replace them. Roses in general are just too high maintenance for me; I'm a carefree type of gardener. I don't like all of the attention roses demand especially when, in the end, they often disappoint you. But this little rose has not been a disappointment at all this year, in fact, it's been just the opposite. I bought
Jean Mermoz 5 years ago from
Antique Rose Emporium and I think this has been its best year yet. It's been in the same pot the entire time and I dig a couple of annuals into the soil surrounding it just fill out the space. Jean started blooming in May and has not stopped. In fact, today, I counted at least 25 buds ready to open up at any minute.
Jean Mermoz has a low-growing, compact habit and likes full sun. The bloom is less than 2 inches across and the plant is hardy to zone 5.

I'd say that if you want to take a chance on a rose, this one is probably worth the risk.
