Parentage - 'Robin Hood' x 'J.C. Thornton'
Color - Crimson/yellow stamens
Foliage - Medium green
Thorns - Moderate
Size - 5' - 6' h. x 3' - 4' w. (shrub)
Fragrance - Medium, musky
Repeat bloom - Yes
Disease resistance - Fair
Hardiness - Zone 6
The Name of the Rose - Also known as 'Wilhelm."
A tall and lanky hybrid musk which blooms quite well with bright red blooms with yellow stamens in the center. Although it blooms profusely and repeats well, the shape of the bush is somewhat unattractive and would work better if placed in the middle of a border or a situation where it will be surrounded by other plant. In other words, it does not make an attractive specimen plant. Grows to about 5 x 4 feet.
Although very beautiful in full bloom, disease resistance is only fair and blackspot seems to be a given during the summer months. Japanese beetles, which I've noticed in my garden for the past two years, also love this rose.
