A Fragrant Bright Red Hybrid Tea?
Comments (22)I went to Otto and Son's Nursery today in Filmore, CA and checked out their red roses. There was a heatwave lately of 100+ degrees Fahrenheit, so most of the roses were looking faded. It was a good test to see which roses were looking there best. Double Delight was faded pink and white, but still pretty. Firefighter was a close distance away and was also a faded-pink, but not as pretty. I was disappointed, because I didn't think it matched very well with Saint Patrick, a greenish-yellow rose I planned on having as its companion. Right now I have Firefighter in a pot in partial shade, because it is so young, but will eventually be placed in full sun. I no longer think Firefighter is heat tolerant in my zone, but I still think it would be a good match with Double Delight in a cooler zone. Even the older blooms were fragrant. The red roses looking the best in heat were today were Grande Amore and Ingrid Bergman. The staff there said Grande Amore starts out dark red and fades to a lighter red, not pink. Ingrid Bergman was very nice and they were showcasing it at the front of the nursery. But unfortunately, there was no fragrance that I could detect.

Comments (3)If you go to the web site Help Me Find/roses, you can search for roses by name. Try Chrysler Imperial - red colors are not very true on the computer, but you could look at it and see what you think. Also, if you post this question on the Antique Rose forum, you will get way more and more accurate information (folks who are good at identifying antique roses are also good at identifying ANY rose, and they love to try!).

Comments (2)Thanks Ozmelodye, I was thinking it might just be a phase that it's in since the weather has been strange but I guess it's not. I did some investigating on the Certified Roses website and what climbers they grow and I'm thinking this might be a "Coral Dawn" that they mixed up. They look very similar....See MoreID this true red hybrid tea? has the odd tiny white streak
Comments (9)Well, I can't say for sure since I'm new to roses, but it looks exactly like my Ramblin' Red climber. It's new growth is that same shade of green w/ red (new canes are red) & you can see upper right petal had a white stripe like your picture shows & had one when fully opened. I don't know how/why that stripe was there & I just purchased/planted this spring so I don't know what's up with the stripe! This pic is from its first flush & I'll take a pic for you tomorrow so you can see the color of new foliage growth: Btw, I'm in zone 4b/5a & this rose is supposedly hardy to zone 3. Like I said, I can't say for sure that's what this rose is, but it's bloom & foliage color looks exactly the same as mine. Mines in full sun, so bloom color did fade after a few days to a red w/ less blue undertones, like the bloom color in your pic. Nic...See MoreLynn-in-TX-Z8b- Austin Area/Hill Country
