More information

Crimson Glory has long been grown as a red hybrid tea distinguished by dark coloration and a strong rose‑oil fragrance. Blooms open from almost black buds with exhibition‑type form. The flowers are crimson with dark, velvety markings at the petal tips; they are not densely packed, sometimes a little fuller than semi‑double. The blooms tend to nod because the pedicels are weak, which in humid climates allows rain to run off the outer petals and helps keep the flower intact. Crimson Glory performs better in hot climates, where it reaches 2 m and shows reduced disease susceptibility. In strong sun the flowers can take on a purple hue; the cultivar was used in the southern USA but is rarely grown in Italy and Spain. The shrub is prickly and branched; the foliage is nearly evergreen; young growth is crimson. A climbing sport, Climbing Crimson Glory, exists.
