Mister Lincoln Hybrid Tea Rose

Plant in spring or fall in fertile, well-drained soil, spacing 24–30 inches apart. Mister Lincoln is the most widely grown deep red hybrid tea rose — a classic with large, dark velvety crimson flowers and a powerful, classic rose fragrance. Dig a wide planting hole, add compost, and water deeply. Apply mulch. Full sun and good air circulation are important.

Prune in early spring, removing dead wood and reducing canes by about one-third. Deadhead spent blooms for continuous flowering. Fertilize every four to six weeks. Water at the base. Mister Lincoln has been the standard deep red hybrid tea for decades — its velvety, intensely colored flowers and powerful fragrance make it a perpetual favorite. An award-winning rose that has proven itself across generations of rose growers. Outstanding for cutting.
