'Kardinal 85 ™' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Brown to the ground for me in zone 5b. Not really a surprise as it's rated for zone 7- but I enjoyed it for the season and bought on bare root clearance at Home Depot. I'll update if it actually grows again- but as of April 19 it looks pretty gone.

My rose is just beginning to come into it's own, so I can't really tell you how wide it will be when it is more mature. I can tell you that it truly is an "upright" rose, so I don't expect it to need more than the 3' I have allowed for the plant.
Smiles,
Lyn

Kardinal's fragrance is stronger than 'mild'. It's perhaps not as strong or spicy as Mr Lincoln, but it's one of the best perfumed reds around - almost equal to Kentucky Derby but with smaller flowers.
Because the flower production is so prolific, heavy feeding is required to maintain bloom size at 4" or above. he roses are mostly single on good thick stems, but there are occasional short-stem clusters of two to three blooms in peak periods.
Mildew resistance is above average, but by no means perfect. Black spot resistance is very good.

If you are able, can you tell me what the bush looks like, the shape, the foliage, color and density? That would help me a lot in making Kardinal my choice for a particular area. Also, would it do well in the Los Angeles sun (5 hours). Thank you.

Extremely thorny! Otherwise a beautiful and strong rose with lots of long lasting blooms that resists even heavy rain. Good disease resistance overall.
Best budded on Multiflora, quite average to poor if budded on Dr Huey. If budded as standards, best done on the lowest standard cane as this rose is extremely vigorous with 80cm long and thorny basal shoots.
