Looking for a red rose red hybrid tea
Comments (37)I looked at Kardinal on an image search and some of them look red, but some look pink and some look more orange. I think the camera, the culture, and the lighting conditions influence the photographs so it's hard to tell which is really true red. I used to have an American beauty growing up, I thought it was really red, but now I read it's on the pink side. It was not a hybrid tea, it was more like a big huge bush with red roses on it. It's probably good to go to rose shows and nursery to see them in person before selection a color that is the red that you want....See MoreNeed ID for old hybrid tea
Comments (12)Thanks rosefolly - the neighborhood I live in was originally developed in the 1880s - 19teens, and then there was another building spurt in the 1920s. Many of the old gardens were treated to "benign neglect" over the years (including ours!). Our climate is also benign, and so many of the old roses have survived, sometimes to this day, without much care since they were originally planted. I was looking from my second story window yesterday at my back neighbor's back yard. I know they do practically nothing to anything back there, but it was abloom in huge old roses - a Cl Cecile Brunner which has always been there is growing on 3 different trees, and there is what I now know is a huge old Lamarque blooming its head off. Also, when I was visiting with my next door neighbor yesterday (to take pictures of the 'Garden Pary'), there was a really nice looking bright red climber coming over the fence from that yard into hers. It was very large and healthy, completely covered in bloom, and had really gorgeous flowers. It took me a while to realize that it was Dr. Huey! All of the other ones I have seen in our area are covered with mildew and miserable. It has probably been growing there for decades - perhaps it "outgrew" the mildew, or is just such an old cultivar that it is healthier? Anyway, our neighborhood's old mystery roses are proof that you do NOT have to fuss endlessly with roses to get them to be successful! Jackie...See MoreHybrid Tea Rose - ID anyone??
Comments (19)I suppose it could be TOR, but I really don't agree. Here is why... If you look at the first picture and bloom close-up posted by wasted wages, the bloom form is flat and almost identical to a Camelia bloom. This is a classic bloom trait of an open Sexy Rexy bloom. I have never seen TOR ever produce a bloom that looks like a Camelia. The bloom form on TOR is almost always a classic high centred and pointed HT form throughout the bloom life cycle. As they age, the bloom also opens in the center and reveals the stamens clearly. The blooms in wasted wages bush shot seem way too flat and not high centred enough to be TOR. You can even see all this in the picture that ontheteam posted up. Moreover, TOR also often has a touch of yellow in the bloom as it opens and the two tone pink colouration is typically stronger and more noticeable when its blooms open. Also, in warmer climates, Sexy Rexy may only have 2" blooms, but in colder climates, the blooms are easily 3-3.5" across on well grown and healthy plants. I grew 3 of them for many years and the blooms are far from small here. My biggest problem was that the canes would often break after a rainfall due to the weight and size of the bloom clusters and individual blooms. I'll post up some pics of Sexy Rexy and TOR in the next day or so....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 Moreintwilight z6a KS
