Mr Lincoln Rose

Regarded as one of the best red roses, Mr Lincoln is a hybrid tea rose popular for both the deep red flower and the fragrance

Mr Lincoln Rose
Mr Lincoln Rose

A tall growing bush rose, also available as a standard and as a climbing rose it is versatile and hardy.

As this is a rather vigorous grower it is best grown towards the back of the garden border.

Bred in the United States in 1964, and named after President Lincoln this is a rose that has proved itself over 60 years. 

It is a thorny rose and also tall growing, so a spot away from pathways is suggested. Not to far back in the border as you will want to pick these wonderful red roses for cut flowers.

Fragrance is strong, reminiscent of Damask roses, a strong rich fragrance from the deep red flower, which is heightened on warm sunny days.

Care.

Mr Lincoln is a rose that grows well both in the ground as well as in containers. It is naturally a tall and vigorous growing rose and can reach nearly 2 metres ( 6ft) in height.

  • Choose a sunny position
  • Best in a humus rich well drained soil.
  • Plant and stake the rose.
  • Water in with a liquid seaweed fertiliser.
  • Mulch around the rose to maintain a cool root run and moisture

In a container, make sure that it is large, around 60cm across 90 cm deep. The neck of the pot should be wide not narrowing at the top.

Top Tips

Mulch and watering during dry periods along with a regular application of fertiliser will help maximise growing conditions and plant health.

Fertilize regularly with a specialist rose food for best results. Or try ‘Dynamic Lifter’

Pruning and Fertiizer

It is easy to prune and to keep it in good shape we suggest that you  prune back by 1/3 after removing old and dead wood.
