Medium red Shrub.
Registration name: Ponred
Exhibition name: Ida Red

Bred by Ray Ponton (United States, 2006).

Shrub.  

Red.  Moderate fragrance.  Average diameter 3".  Medium, full (26-40 petals), borne mostly solitary bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, upright.  Medium, semi-glossy, medium green foliage.  

Height: up to 3' (up to 90cm).  

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for beds and borders, container rose, cut flower or garden.  Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.  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.
