Rosaceae
Rosa 'Crimson Glory'
Crimson Glory Hybrid Tea Rose, Hybrid Tea Rose
The long-stemmed ‘Crimson Glory’ makes an ideal cut flower for the home garden. It was introduced in 1935 by the famous firm of Kordes in Sparrieshoop, Germany and resulted from a cross between a seedling of ‘Catherine Kordes’ and ‘W.E. Chaplin.’
This erect shrub has dark green foliage and upright canes ideal for cutting. The blossoms are dark red, cup shaped and fully double with as many as 30 petals per bloom. They offer a spicy, damask-like fragrance and have elegant pointed buds. This variety blooms profusely through a very long season from spring to frost if regularly deadheaded and given favorable growing conditions. The fruit is a berry-like hip, which provides food to wildlife.
Roses prefer full to partial sun, moderate temperatures and perfectly drained, slightly acid soil with average to good fertility. They grow best in places with slightly dry climates because such climates disfavor the fungal diseases that plague them. For this reason, it is important to maintain good airflow within and between planted roses through good planting and pruning practices which will dissuade fungal attacks.
Such a heavy bloomer is a guaranteed heavy feeder. This rose will require a rigorous fertilization schedule and deep watering to produce these massive flowers. It is ideal for any bed, border or cutting garden.
