Chrysler Imperial Rose

A Classic Hybrid Tea Rose
Chrysler Imperial rose, a classic hybrid tea rose that's been around since the 1950's. The blooms of this rose
have a dramatic and beautiful red color and an exquisite rose fragrance which is the reason Imperial Chrysler
roses are still very popular.

The buds are elegantly tapered and open into high-centered flowers up to 5 inches across, with a rich, deep,
velvety red color.
The strongly scented flowers start blooming in late spring and repeat throughout the summer, with another good
flush of blooms in the fall.

The foilage is semi-glossy and deep green with thorny canes. The rose grows to 3-6 feet tall and
about 3 feet wide, showing more growth in warmer climates.
Growing Information and How To Care For Imperial Chrysler roses
This rose plant has a fairly stiff, upright form, so it looks best if planted in groups of three or more, for
a more bushier look. The fragrant, long-stemmed rose flowers make excellent cut flowers, so you might want to
grow these roses in a cutting garden with good sun exposure; a sunny site is a must, as it is not
shade tolerant.
It's not a cold hardy rose, in fact the growing problems are, it's prone to diseases, such as blackspot and
mildew, particularly in cool climates.
Plant it in a spot with good air circulation and be prepared to spray if blackspot and mildew is a problem
in your area. Zones 6-9, height up to 6 feet (2m).
