'Red Carefree Beauty' rose Reviews & Comments

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Griff's Red does surprisingly well in gulf coast zone 8b conditions. Disease resistant and vigorous. It is close to what I would call a true red. Vigorous and almost continuous bloom. It is a favorite of mine. A less well known rose but of significant garden value for my region.

With a little fertilizer and some room this rose will really take off once established. I've found the blooms bordering on informal, but the repeat is reliable, the fragrance is adequate, flower production is impressive, color impact is wonderful, it is an eager hip setter, it responds well to pruning, and is not terribly challenged by fungus if given a reasonable care ( I use some sulfur in the spring if it is very wet). I've been growing it for at least eight years. Took a few to really get going, but once started you can't really stop it.

Definitely not 16-20" tall. Mine is currently 3.5'. It's a very linear rose, and I'd compare it to a grandiflora in plant shape, bloom size. Like, similar dimensions as Octoberfest, but a little less narrow than Octoberfest. Well, something like that. Like between the dimensions of Octoberfest and Aunt Honey, I would say.

This rose took three years to produce the proper hybrid tea shaped flowers. When I first started growing it, I wasn't very impressed, but now that the rose is more mature I'm rather in awe of its beauty. This beautiful red rose is well worth the wait!
