'Cherish' Boasts Exhibition-Quality Blooms and a Spicy Fragrance
Its blooms, which appear singly or in clusters, are distinctly reminiscent of a Hybrid Tea while in bud form.
Cultivar name: 'JACsal.' 'Cherish' boasts exhibition-quality blooms of shell-pink with coral highlights and a spicy fragrance that are offset by leathery, glossy, dark green foliage. Its blooms, which appear singly or in clusters, are distinctly reminiscent of a Hybrid Tea while in bud form, and the flowers open flat to display 26 to 28 petals. 'Cherish' fills the garden with color all season long and makes a great cutting rose. 'Cherish' offers a compact and slightly spreading habit. Spring pruning is recommended. Old and dead wood should be removed and canes that cross need to be cut back. Gardeners in warmer climates should cut back the remaining canes by about one-third, while those in colder areas will probably want to prune a little more than that. This rose will require winter protection if the wind chill factor drops below 20 F/ - 7 C. 'Cherish' makes a lovely addition to both gardens and containers, but container plantings will need winter protection. Zones 6-10.
