Rosa ht. 'Chrysler Imperial' (red)

An elegant tree form rose with a striking upright habit, this specimen is revered for its vibrant, velvety red blooms that emit a captivatingly strong fragrance. Suitable for USDA hardiness zones 6-10, it thrives in temperatures between 60°F and 75°F. The glossy green foliage serves as a perfect backdrop to the showy flowers, and while it does not offer notable fall color, its continuous and lavish blooms more than compensate. The rose prefers well-drained, loamy soil enriched with organic matter for optimal growth. It features a rounded, tree-like shape and reaches a mature height of 4-6 feet with proper pruning and care. Tolerant to some deer resistance, it's a great choice for formal gardens or as a visually commanding accent piece. This versatile plant provides not only stunning visual appeal but also the added charm of fragrant cut flowers for arrangements.
