Comments: Major award winner. Large blooms. Named after the Car as an anniversary of some sort. Was originally just supposed to be named Chrysler. This rose is still widely grown after 50 years. The reason? It is still one of the most beautiful of all of the red roses and it has a great fragrance. |
