I can't help with this one. Perhaps others can?
I recall a 2007 correspondence with Bill Grant wherein he asked:
>Have you grown 'General Jacqueminot' - if so, how did it grow and were you happy with it.
Two plants. One from the Pinjarra Heritage Rose Garden in 2002,
and the other a foundling passed on to me by Rose Marsh, also in 2002. Widely separated. I've never seen a flower from either!

Pacifier pointed out the rust on the leaves, which I hadn't noticed, but General Jack is susceptible to it. I will check other roses at Blakiston for it.
I haven't grown GJ.

It starts flowering very early in spring, in South Australia. Sweet scent.

The Oxford Companion to Australian Gardens 2002, page 73 mentions the nursery John Baptist, NSW, sent some orders by ship to S.A. and then by river boat up the Murray. John Baptist purchased plants from Camden and the Darling Nursery. Perhaps these catalogues should be perused by those seeking an identification for “Captain Olsen”.
