'Kavkazskaya'. a plant with large double flowers was identified in 1942 at the Voznesensky experimental breeding station among an old palntation of Kazanlik roses. The plant was propagated and named Kavkaz'ka Chernova (кавказська червона) [Caucasian Red]. The variety was described by L. V. Lutin in 1956: "Kazanlik and Red roses are produced in Crimea....the morphological features and the vegetative growing season approaches Kazanlik, but is very different from the latter. The blooms are large, very full, with up to 200 petals, bright red. The weight of one bloom is 4-6 g. The average weight of the central bloom is 8 g. The minimum number of blooms on the bush is 200-400. The flowers are an average of 2.5 times heavier than Crimean Red, and 3 times more than Kazanlik. The blooms tend to fall apart, making it difficult to collect petals. Its essential oil is close to Kazanlik's. Cuttings are not propagated. Susceptibility to rust is less than Kazanlik. Grows suckers, making mechanization and plant care difficult.
