More information

Geranium Red was introduced in 1947, at a time when the old-style bloom form was out of fashion; the cultivar has since been rediscovered. Blooms are vivid scarlet—close to, though not strictly, geranium—with an orange tint at the center and bright pink highlights at the edges. The fragrance is strong and sweet. Flowers appear singly or in loose clusters of up to 5. The form is flat, with numerous deeply cut petals twisted at the center; such a form remains uncommon for a rose of this bright color. Foliage is small, dark, and glossy; shoots are flexible and glabrous. The plant is not tall, responds well to good care, and grows better in heat. Its height suits garden use, though the color can be challenging to coordinate with other plants.

Buds are pointed. Flowers are geranium-red, large (up to 10 cm), double (about 50 petals), fragrant, solitary and in inflorescences of 3–5. Leaves are dark green and glossy; young foliage is beetroot-colored. Shrubs are medium-height (60–70 cm), dense. Flowering is abundant. Winter hardiness is average. Susceptible to fungal diseases. Suitable for groups.
