More information
Very large, deeply cupped, very double flowers of deep crimson that later take on purplish-purple tones. Very strong, prickly, medium-sized shrub. Rich rose-oil fragrance.
Othello is a large rose. The flowers are crimson with a dark pink reverse, showing cherry, purple, and red highlights depending on the weather. The flowers are darkest in cold weather. The petal edges are always lighter. The blooms are cup-shaped with many small petals. Flowers are produced singly or in small clusters, held upright on strong shoots, non-nodding and suitable for cutting. The shrub carries large prickles and tough, dark green foliage, and is sometimes susceptible to powdery mildew. Repeats flowering fairly freely and is heat-averse. Reaches 2 m in hot climates.
Large, dark crimson, cupped blooms on a strong, upright, prickly shrub. The flowers are redder in spring and smaller in autumn. Rich rose-oil aroma.
