Hybrid Tea.  

Cherry-red.  Moderate, tea fragrance.  Large, full (26-40 petals), scalloped bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Well-branched.  

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.
