Hybrid Tea.  

Dark red.  None to mild fragrance.  17 to 25 petals.  Average diameter 2.75".  Medium, double (17-25 petals) bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, upright.  Medium, semi-glossy, medium green foliage.  

Height: up to 35" (up to 90cm).  

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for beds and borders, container rose or garden.  Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
