Hybrid Tea Rose
Rosa Alec's Red
Masses of luxurious, fully double, crimson to cherry red blooms are produced continuously from dark purple buds between July and September. This is an outstanding hybrid tea bush rose that’s blessed with an impressive list of virtues. It is well-foliated with healthy, finely-toothed, glossy mid-green leaves and bears large, elaborate, globular blooms that possess a deep and heavy damask perfume. Combining well with early flowering perennials and bulbs, it’s perfect for an open, sunny site, displaying a strong resistance to diseases such as black spot and mildew. The blooms hold their colour well with age and cope well with tough conditions including rain and windy weather. We’d recommend dead heading faded flowers immediately to encourage a fresh flush of blooms.
