Notes:
julyjazzriffs emailed: I purchased a Red Hybrid Tea Rose from Wal-Mart in Bossier City (Shreveport), Louisiana, on April 1, 2002. The name they were using is Rose 'Belle Rouge'. The scent was strong, and sweet on the blooms when I bought it. It had an irresistable velvet red, compact appearance of numerous petals. Also, it was an excellent cut flower.
