My vase today features Rosa ‘Mr. Lincoln’ — a velvet red hybrid tea rose with a classic deep fragrance to match it’s rich color. Rosa ‘Chrysler Imperial’, Salvia nemorosa ‘Caradonna’ and Salvia officinalis ‘Berggarten’ fill out the arrangement.

 ‘Mr. Lincoln’ starts out with a tight bud, and opens to many layers of ruffled petals.
