I gave mine to a neighbor when I was a teenager. Its a moderate, damask red. Its moderate and stalky, unlike the super tall Mr Lincoln. If I recall, the blooms were more globular, kind of like Chryslar Imperial is. In fact, Patriot reminded me of an updated, but 1980s, version of Chrysler Imperial. The scent was 50/50. Overall, it was one of the better 1980s/90s reds, but nothing could compete with Olympiad then. Olympiad took the world by storm, and many red HT's became overshadowed by it.
