| This rose was grown by my grandfather between 1965 and 1970 in Necochea (Buenos Aires, Argentina). After this period, he kept just a small plant grown from its own roots which still flowers every year. A friend of him, owner of a very well known nursery, wanted to buy my grandfather´s rose as he said it was one of his favourite and a very difficult rose to get. I know that it could be a really difficult task at all, taking into account that there are so many red roses, but I have had great results posting my unknown roses here. I wish I could have the same luck in this occasion!
IDENTIFICATION CARD PLANT Type: HT, (I think). Size: Up to 78´ (2 mt) tall and 39´ (1 mt) wide. Stems: Strong, rigid. Habit: Tall and dense bush, very thorny (although the pictures of the plant show just a plant rised from its own roots, no more than 39´ (1 mt) tall). FOLIAGE Color: Dark green, leathery (not glossy). Some young sprouts have a characteristic light green color. Size: 2.73´ (7 cm) x 1.95´ (5 cm). FLOWERS Features of the bud: Small buds: 0.98´ (2.5 cm) Diameter: 3.51" x 3.51" (9 cm x 9 cm). Flower: Not very big. ¿How does it bloom?: Solitary and in clusters of up to 3-4 flowers. ¿How many times does it flower?: Taking into account that the rose grows in our holidays house, I just can tell that it produces a lot of flowers during the summer period. Of course it might flower in spring, as well. Number of petals: 25 petals. Stamen Yes/ No: Yes, yellow. Color: Deep velvety red while opening, bright red with some fuchsia tones then. Lenght of the flower: High. Fragance: None to mild fragance. Resistance: It seems to be a very vigorous and healthy cultivar. THANKS for your time! Mariano.
