Night Fever
It's the incorrigible, super fragrant, mega party rose - 'Mister Lincoln'.
aka 'Mr Lincoln'.
Photographed at Wahroonga Park, Wahroonga, in the rain that has dominated the summer of 2023 & 2024 here in Sydney.
So, if you want to grow a highly fragrant red rose, then 'Mister Lincoln' is for you!! And, what's more, it is a party rose that just keeps going!! Prolific blooms from early Spring (if not late winter) till late Autumn.
Introduced in 1964 and winner of the prestigious All America Rose Selection in 1965. It is my absolute favourite rose!
No hybrid tea-rose is better. But perhaps to be fair, joining 'Mister Lincoln' in the super fragrant club would be 'Papa Meilland', 'Double Delight', 'Fragrant Cloud' and 'Oklahoma'. And, of-course, they're all hybrid teas - no floribundas here, lol.
And here's the Bee Gees with their classic hit-song 'Night Fever':
