Olympiad

Class: Hybrid Tea Rose (Modern Large Flowered)

 

Considered by many for many years to be the best red garden rose out there. A Perennial rose show winner. The problem is that it lacks fragrance. In my not so humble opinion, 'Veteran's Honor' blows this one away.

Named in honor of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. The official rose of the games
