The Mr. Lincoln Rose is a vigorous, tall upright shrub, 4 to 7 ft (121‚¬€œ213 cm) in height. Blooms are very large, 6 in (15 cm) or more in diameter, with 30 to 35 petals. The rose has a strong damask fragrance. The high-centered, deep red petals are generally borne singly on long stems and do not fade, even in the hottest climates. The shrub is a repeat bloomer. The buds are deep red and open up into large, velvety red, double blossoms. The foliage is dark red when young and becomes leathery and dark, matte green when the plant is older. It is generally healthy and heat tolerant, but is susceptible to blackspot.
The Mr. Lincoln Rose is a popular choice for home gardens and landscapes due to its beautiful flowers, long bloom season, and relatively easy care requirements. It is a great choice for beds and borders, or the cutting garden. Plant it where you will be able to enjoy its perfume daily: near a doorway, along a path, near your patio or deck. Excellent cut flowers. Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile, moist, well-drained soils.
Here are some additional tips for caring for the Mr. Lincoln Rose:
- Water regularly, especially during the first growing season.
- Fertilize once a year in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
- Mulch around the rose to help retain moisture and keep the roots cool.
- Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming.
- Inspect the rose regularly for pests and diseases. If you find any problems, treat them immediately.
With proper care, the Mr. Lincoln Rose will thrive for many years and provide you with beautiful blooms all season long.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
