Rose Type: Hybrid Tea
Mister Lincoln produces large, beautifully formed blooms in a deep, velvety red. The flowers reach about 5.5 inches across and carry 30–35 petals, opening from long, pointed buds above dark green foliage on tall stems.
The blooms carry a very strong Damask rose fragrance and perform well for cutting and bringing indoors. Mister Lincoln grows with a vigorous, upright habit and can reach about 3–6 feet tall. It also tolerates heat and coastal conditions, with good disease resistance and especially strong performance where warm days are followed by cooler nights.
