Hybrid Tea Rose 'Mr. Lincoln'

‘Mr. Lincoln’ Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa ‘Mr. Lincoln’). The Rosa ‘Mr. Lincoln’, an iconic hybrid tea rose for classic gardens, is renowned for its large, double, deep velvet red blooms with thick, silky petals forming a perfectly turbinate cup. Intensely fragrant, they release a rich, heady scent typical of old garden roses, noticeable several meters away, making it a preferred variety near patios and walkways. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to reach an imposing stature in sunny borders or as a focal point in isolated plantings.

To plant the ‘Mr. Lincoln’ hybrid tea rose, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: rich, deep, well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then prune according to the rose group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the potential presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure that water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the soil moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1.2 m (4 ft) when planning for this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 1.5 m (5 ft) helps in choosing its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
