Rosa 'Chrysler Imperial' (Hybrid Tea Rose)
Rose 'Chrysler Imperial', Hybrid Tea Roses, Shrub Roses
Noted for its outstanding fragrance, Rosa 'Chrysler Imperial' is a striking Hybrid Tea rose with very large, 5 in. across (12 cm), fully double, high-centered, deep, velvety, crimson flowers (45-50 petals). Opening from long, pointed buds, they are strongly citrus scented and bloom in flushes from spring to fall. Borne on long stems, they stand out against the foliage of semi-glossy, dark green leaves. Hardy, vigorous, of upright habit, this shrub rose performs well in warm climates.
- Recipient of many prestigious awards including 1953 All-America Rose Selection - the most prestigious rose award in the USA, 1964 John Cook Medal and 1965 James Alexander Gamble Rose Fragrance Award
- Grows up to 3-6 ft. tall (90-180 cm) with a 2-4 ft. spread (60-120 cm).
- An excellent choice for beds and borders or containers. Great cut flowers.
- Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
- Some susceptibility to mildew.
- Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
- Bred by Dr. Walter E. Lammerts (United States, 1952).
