Current Notes

'Firefighter ®' rose, a dark red Hybrid Tea variety bred by Joseph Orard, features large, full blooms with a strong, fruity fragrance, reminiscent of old rose and raspberry. The flowers have 40 to 45 petals, with an average diameter of 4.5 inches. This tall, almost thornless rose reaches 5 to 6 feet in height and is very disease resistant. It blooms in flushes throughout the season and is suitable for USDA zones 6b through 9b. 'Firefighter ®' was named in honor of the firefighters who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Well-rooted in a 9cm pot. Canada only. firefighter
