Rose, Legends
Huge buds & blossoms of rich ruby red hold their brilliance from beginning to end. Large petals (just one can cover a child's palm) lend a classical Hybrid Tea bud shape, slowly spiraling open to a ruffled whopper of a rose. Large lettuce-like leaves of an unusual red-green color clothe the long cutting stems—in perfect proportion to the flower. It only takes one prodigious posy to fill a vase. Lightly fragrant. Most massive in the spring.
