Bred by Masayuki Matsumoto (Japan, 2004).

Hybrid Tea.  

Dark red.  Mild, damask fragrance.  26 to 40 petals.  Average diameter 4.75".  Large, full (26-40 petals), borne mostly solitary, exhibition bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Tall, upright.  Large, semi-glossy, medium green foliage.  

Height: up to 6'7" (up to 200cm).  

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for cut flower or exhibition.  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.
