Hybrid Tea.  

Red.  Mild fragrance.  Quartered bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

USDA zone 6b and warmer.  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.
