Mister Lincoln – Tree

For more than a generation, this dark red rose was the yardstick that all new introductions would eventually be measured against. A tall, robust plant produces a myriad of richly perfumed, deep crimson blooms that regularly appear on show tables where springs are short and warm. Blossoms tend to move toward blue as they mature. It certainly belongs in the top ten all-time favorites, particularly here in the United States. Hybridizer: Swim & Weeks, 1965

Please note: Tree roses are more susceptible to cold-weather damage, so they do need winter protection in Zones 5 and 6. Tree roses may be shipped separately from your regular rose order as they require special packing.
