I love Mr. Lincoln!
Yours is beautiful and growing so well.
Ours is ancient.... well, about a dozen years old. It's grafted, and it really suckers. Plus, now it has that big wooden crown that grafted roses get. I would love to replace it with an own root when we can. Such a great rose.

Interesting -- I was told that Mr. Lincoln could not grow on its own roots -- had to be grafted. Looks like it can.

Not a big fan of red but Mr Lincoln is oh so pretty. Judy

I hope he does as well next season for you because I think this is the most gorgeous of all red HTs.

My father used to grow Lincoln in his rose garden in the late'60's-'70's. I just love this rose and its scent. I'm glad to hear he stayed clean! I'm thinking about a future purchase...

Thanks everyone! I'll let you know how this own-root Lincoln does next season.
First it ust make it through winter. lol
