Hybrid tea rose 'Mr. Lincoln'
FamilyRosaceae
Rosa ‘Mr. Lincoln’, an iconic hybrid tea rose of classic gardens, is renowned for its large, deep velvet-red double flowers, with thick, silky petals forming a perfectly turbinate cup. Intensely fragrant, they release a rich, heady scent typical of old garden roses, noticeable from several meters away, making it a preferred variety near patios and pathways. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to achieve an imposing stature in sunny borders or as a solitary focal point. Floriferous and reblooming, it offers several waves of blossoms throughout the summer, producing long, strong stems ideal for cutting. Its dark green, dense, and slightly glossy foliage highlights the dramatic intensity of the flowers and performs well in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. Rosa ‘Mr. Lincoln’ embodies power, elegance, and fragrance in the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
