Rose Type: Hybrid Tea
Chrysler Imperial produces classic, high-centered Hybrid Tea blooms in a deep, velvety red. The large flowers reach approximately 5–5.5 inches across and carry 45–50 petals, creating a full, formal shape above dark green, matte foliage. Its rich red color and traditional form make it especially well suited for cutting and bringing indoors.
The flowers carry a strong Damask fragrance and repeat bloom throughout the season. Chrysler Imperial grows with an upright habit, reaching about 3–6 feet tall, and performs especially well in warm, hot, and dry conditions. It also offers good practical disease resistance and good cutting performance.
