Rosa ‘Oklahoma’ (Hybrid Tea Rose)
Rose 'Oklahoma, Hybrid Tea Roses, Shrub Roses
A great addition to the landscape, Rosa ‘Oklahoma’ is a strongly fragrant Hybrid Tea rose boasting large, high-centered, very full, ruby-red flowers packed with 45-50 petals. Resembling the incredibly popular Mister Lincoln rose, the blooms exude a wonderful old rose, sweet fragrance. Blooming in flushes from spring to early fall, they stand out against the lush foliage of matte, dark green, leathery leaves. A tall, upright, bushy shrub rose that is very disease resistant and perfect for beds, borders or as a flowering hedge. A great rose for cutting that performs well in the vase.
- Grows up to 4-8 ft. tall (120-320 cm) and 3-4 ft. wide (90-120 cm).
- An excellent choice for beds and borders, flowering hedges, or containers. Stunning when mass-planted. Excellent cut flowers.
- Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
- Propagate by hardwood cuttings in autumn or by chip budding in summer.
- 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 Swim & Weeks (United States, before 1963).
