If you want Valentine's Day type roses, then Mr. Lincoln is definitely a good choice. It makes wonderful cut roses, so if you are looking for a great, traditional red rose....go with Mr. Lincoln.
Ignore the date, this happens when I change batteries in an obviously old camera.
This was shot this morning. This would be perfect for cutting.
I do have some blackspot issue, and it can get leafless at times, but the rose is fantastic. I have only one red rose that beats it. I believe its the Chrysler Imperial, but I am still researching...but this one does have fragrance and huge blooms. For more information, click HERE
Garden Web had discussions on Mr. Lincoln, Chrystler Imperial, Oklahoma and FireFighter.
