Mister Lincoln Rose

A Red Hybrid Tea Rose

It is also the most fragrant red roses you can find, in fact the blooms are extremely fragrant with a heavenly rose scent.

The roses were planted last year in late winter. This front garden with the red roses are the prettiest on the street.

These red roses make excellent cut flowers for the indoors; a vase of these rose flowers would perfume a whole room. The stems are long and very strong, so this rose is ideal for a long stemmed red rose bouquet to present on a romantic occasion.

The canes are dark, and the combination of the red roses and the forest green leaves makes a striking statement in a garden.

I like to bunch three of these red rose bushes together to create one real full bush. Plant them very close together when doing this. About a foot and half would be good.

However, sometimes the simple elegance of 'Mister Lincoln' by itself is all that's wanted.

Hybrid tea rose bushes tend to have somewhat 'bare legs' at the bottom. I like to hide these 'bare legs' by underplanting the bushes with perennials or self seeding annuals.

With red roses, underplanting with a white perennial such as 'white hardy geranium' or a self seeding annual such as 'white lobelias, will make a beautiful planting combination that will make your red roses even more attractive. It will give a finished look to your flower bed.

These plants also helps keep the soil cool and moist, as well as keeping weeds out.
