firefighter vs mr.lincoln vs Chrysler imperial
Comments (22)One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that Chrysler and its' three offspring are all weak. In Connecticut only Mister Lincoln thrived for me but t is a sparse bloomer and just gets too big.. Chrysler is the most fragrant but also the weakest. Here in SoCal that is not a problem but in CT it always went into decline and after three years or so it wasn't worth keeping. Oklahoma is a prolific bloomer but the blooms are cupped and smallish and the plant is short as well. Papa Meilland is the most like Chrysler but if you are going to use it you might as well take Chrysler which is really the best of them all. My Chrysler here is prolific and the blooms are gorgeous and wonderfully fragrant. But it s weak and I would be curious to know if anyone here in Z6 or below has had success with it....See MoreWANTED: Abe Lincoln, C. Imperial, Toro, Mirandy, or Oklahoma

Comments (7)The yellow is Gold Medal. All of these (46) were planted in Late February to mid March. Mr Lincoln is 7 1/5 feet high and soon will have to be cut way back. I also have Oklahoma which is only 4 1/2 feet high and has produced about three times as many blooms as Mr Lincoln. The blooms are darker red, a bit smaller and more cup shaped and just as fragrant....See MoreMr Lincoln... not?
Comments (17)Christopher, I'm going to hijack this thread for a brief moment to let you know that my R. moschata bloomed, and the fragrance is delicious. Thank you! I missed the first blooms because my DH just had surgery, and I was a bit crazy (even crazier than usual) the last 2 weeks. Back to your regularly scheduled programming... Seil, I feel more confident with 'RdR' as an ID since you've grown and known it, and have also seen it in body bags; and since Christopher also seems to approve... I was looking for a good photo of its prickles at HMF, but couldn't locate one. I'd be pretty happy to get a 'RdR' at that price... I understand that it's got an incredible fragrance, and it's also rather gorgeous. Virginia...See Moreidixierose
