Rosa 'Mr. Lincoln'
- Mr. Lincoln Hybrid Tea Rose is one of the most iconic red roses out there, known for its deep color and strong, classic fragrance. It’s the kind of rose people picture when they think of a traditional, bold red bloom.
- The flowers are large, velvety, and rich in tone, usually borne one per long stem. They have that classic hybrid tea form, making them ideal for cutting and bringing indoors. The fragrance is one of its standout features, strong and unmistakably “rose.”
- The plant grows upright with sturdy stems and dark green foliage that helps the blooms stand out even more. It has a more vertical habit compared to some other roses, which makes it useful for adding height without taking up too much width.
- It blooms in cycles through the growing season, especially with regular deadheading and care. When it’s in full bloom, it creates a strong focal point in the garden.
- Mr. Lincoln grows best in full sun and prefers well drained soil. Regular watering, feeding, and seasonal pruning will help keep it healthy and encourage repeat blooms.
- It typically reaches about 4 to 6 feet tall and around 2 to 3 feet wide, forming an upright shrub. It is well suited for USDA zones 6 through 10 and performs well in warm climates. The foliage is deciduous to semi evergreen depending on conditions.
- This plant has some toxicity and may cause irritation or illness if ingested, so it is best to plant with care around pets and children.
- The flowers attract pollinators such as bees and are excellent for cutting.
- It is generally deer resistant, though roses may occasionally be browsed. Rabbits may nibble young growth.
- Mr. Lincoln Hybrid Tea Rose fits especially well into formal, cottage, and rose garden designs, where its bold color and classic form can be used as a focal point.

- It’s also one of the best varieties if fragrance is important to the design. Use it to flank walkways and entries for a formal classic look.
