Dark red flowers positively packed with petals, 50 or more each, fragrant and full, against glossy dark green leaves. Rosa True Bloom® True Spirit grows 3 feet tall and wide in full sun, hardy to 10 below zero.
The red holds its color in heat rather than scorching brown at the petal edges, which is where most red roses fail in a hot summer.
True Bloom roses come from Ping Lim, the breeder behind the Easy Elegance line, who set out to cross hybrid tea roses with disease-resistant shrubs and get hybrid tea flowers on a plant that survives without a spray program. Two of them, True Passion and True Inspiration, were distinct enough that the program created a class for them: Hybrid Tea Shrub. They are grown on their own roots rather than grafted, so a plant killed back in a hard winter regrows as itself rather than reverting to rootstock, and there are no suckers from below a graft union. Most are hardy to 10 below zero, and high petal counts are the signature of the line.
Disease resistance is high even by the standards of this line. The compact size suits a foundation bed, a low hedge, or a container.
