Dark red Hybrid Tea.
Registration name: Night

Bred by Samuel McGredy II (United Kingdom, 1921).
Introduced in Australia by Hazlewood Bros. Pty. Ltd. in 1931 as 'Night'.

Hybrid Tea.  

Dark red, brown shading.  Deepest, blackish crimson shaded maroon.  Moderate, damask fragrance.  Medium, double (17-25 petals), borne mostly solitary, in small clusters, exhibition bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  Long, pointed buds.  

Bushy, few or no prickles/thorns.  Glossy, dark green foliage.  

USDA zone 6b and warmer.  Very vigorous.  Disease susceptibility: very disease resistant.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
