Cramoisi Superieur
(China, seedling of Slater’s Crimson China, 1832) – red blend. This classic china has small cupped cerise
pink blooms with a silvery reverse that "suntan" to a bright crimson red. The fragrance has been described
as highly spicy with fruity top note on a peppery base. This is a wonderful red rose for no spray gardens in
warm climate zones as it gets minimal black spot. Growth habit is bushy with thin twiggy canes that will
over time build up to a 5 foot tall shrub if they are not harshly pruned. Winter hardy to zone 7. There is
climbing version that is can get quite large. Recommended by Jean in TN.
