Oklahoma HT.  (Swim, 1965) 'Chrysler Imperial' x 'Charles Mallerin'. One of the best dark red roses - fuller than 'Josephine Bruce', less mildew than 'Papa Meilland', darker than 'Mister Lincoln' and a little livelier in colour than 'Tassin' and 'Ellen Mary'. Gold Medal in Tokyo in 1963 when 'Mister Lincoln' ran second - the order was reversed in U.S.A. in the A.A.R.S. competition. Holds its form a long time. The centre is sometimes not sharply pointed. Strong perfume. Vigorous. Named for the raiser's home town.
