According to the David Austin Site:

Very similar to ‘Comte de Chambord’ with more perfect blooms, but not such a regular repeat flowerer. It bears large, shapely rosettes, each with a button eye at the centre, and has the same clear, rich pink colouring, fading a little with age. There is a very strong, rich fragrance. The growth is compact and erect with light green Damask foliage. Very healthy, tough and reliable.

Presumably named after Jacques Cartier, the famous explorer.
