Plant Patent #6,264. Cultivar name 'POUlman'. One glance at this Danish beauty and you know you've found a classic. Ingrid Bergman® is the deep, satisfying velvety red of 'Mister Lincoln', but this plant is much hardier than that traditional favorite. Wonderfully redolent of sweet-and-spicy tea, these petal-packed blooms will delight you indoors or out for many years to come!
Named for the classic movie star renowned for her beauty and poise, this hybrid tea redefines elegance. The 4-inch flowers are packed with 35 tightly whorled, symmetrical petals, slightly recurved for a pleasingly rounded form. Plentifully borne on a free-branching plant, they are framed in dark green foliage and set atop long, sturdy stems. You simply can't find a more delightful combination of form, color, and scent!
Ingrid Bergman® reaches 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide in the sunny garden. It makes a good companion to the floriferous yellow Floribunda Sun Flare. Lending its scent to nearby Clematis, it offers a glowing contrast to the deep blue of C. x durandii and the pure white 'Henryi'. And it is a splendid neighbor to Phlox.
Your garden deserves this classic beauty! Plant in full sun and well-drained soil just about anywhere in the U.S. — a native of Denmark, this rose is well-adapted! Zones 5-9.
