Rosa 'Chrysler Imperial'

A sensation when it was introduced in 1952 and remains one of the best hybrid teas; blooms profusely in early summer and then steadily throughout the season; the deep red blooms are very full and have a lovely scent; prefers a warm and dry climate

Chrysler Imperial Rose will grow to be about 5 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 4 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years.

This shrub should only be grown in full sunlight. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
