There are many who claim Ingrid Bergman is the ultimate red hybrid tea rose: it's pure red with little bluing, it's disease resistant, and it is fragrant. It's a combination hard to find in red hybrid teas. This blossom was exposed six hours per day to blistering Texas sun and did not blue - that's worth something.
Those who spray and show roses on the bench will probably have a different opinion since this is not the largest or most formally organized of the red HT's. But everyone with a "hands-off' approach to roses would do well to learn about Ingrid Bergman. ARS members rate it a solid 7.7. |
