Considered by Many to Be the Best Red Rose Ever

All-America Rose Selections (AARS) Winner 1965

Many rose experts consider this the best red rose ever. Urn-shaped maroon buds open their velvety petals to form perfect 4- to 6-inch, high-centered, fully double flowers comprised of 25 to 40 petals of a lively red that will sometimes turn to a gorgeous purple if bathed in lots of sun. Boasting a strong melon fragrance, the long-lasting flowers are freely produced on long stems, perfect for cutting and exhibition.

Mister Lincoln is a vigorous grower with a long bloom season, from early summer to mid-fall, and fine adaptability to adverse weather conditions, including heat. It has an attractive tall, upright habit of dark green, leathery foliage that makes a wonderful backdrop for the blossoms. This hybrid tea reaches an impressive height of 4 to 8 feet with a width of 2 to 3 feet, creating a display like no other. It performs best in medium-moisture, slightly acidic, well-drained loam in full sun. A favorite among discerning gardeners for generations, it is a splendid addition to any setting.

It should be pruned in the spring, to half height or 18-20 inches above the ground, with the removal of old canes and dead wood. Cut back canes that cross each other. Gardeners in warmer climates will want to cut the remaining canes.

Mr. Lincoln is the perfect red rose

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I had a Mr. Lincoln before for a long time, but lost it a few years ago after I had to transplant it to a less favorable location. I just ordered another and can't wait to get it. It is a perfect, large, dark red rose that smells like a rose should smell. The blooms are huge and last quite a while in a vase too.

This rose is just the type of rose that you never get bored of...just an interesting flower as well as plant all the way around. What a sweet scent on a warm summer day.
