Alec’s Red®

Alec’s Red® is one of our favorite red roses to recommend to gardeners. With beautiful, almost black buds that open into large, 6″, fully double, globular blooms with a 30+ petal count, his crimson to cherry red coloring is almost as intoxicating as his very strong, rich damask perfume. Alec’s Red® is a vigorous, upright bush with dark-green foliage and thrives in zones 5-10.
