More information

Shreveport is a city in Louisiana and the headquarters of the American Rose Society. The cultivar itself is of German origin, bred by the house of Cordes. It is a tall, upright grandiflora of hybrid tea type, with large flowers borne singly or in clusters of up to 4. The blooms are bright orange-coral, slightly paler on the reverse, and they hold their color well. The shrub is very erect and branched, with fine spines and large, disease-resistant foliage.

Elongated buds open to orange-salmon flowers with 50 petals. The blooms are goblet-shaped and usually appear in small clusters of 3–5. The foliage is large and bright green, and the shoots are dotted with small spines bent downward. In the USA, the variety is classified as a grandiflora. The bush is tall and erect.
