More information
This hybrid tea rose is grown worldwide, particularly in Germany, where it is widely used for large-scale bedding. The flowers open from black buds into well-formed blooms of classic shape, appearing in small sprays of 7–9. They are a rich dark red, with a velvety sheen on the darker outer petals, and the color holds well. The blooms are carried on long stems, making them suitable for cutting. New foliage emerges red, then matures to dark green and glossy. Occasionally affected by powdery mildew. The bush is medium in height, reaching 70 cm in cold climates and much taller in hot conditions. Color is usually most intense in cold weather.
The flowers are glass-shaped, with long, slender petals. It is among the darkest roses bred to date. Fragrance is medium. Flowering continues through summer and autumn, fairly abundantly, which contributes to its wide cultivation. The bush often has an irregular, sometimes crooked habit, which limits its use in flowerbeds and mixed borders. The bush is tall, vigorous, and of uneven height. Commonly grown in cutting gardens, where the irregular habit is less conspicuous.
