About Chrysler Imperial Potted Tree Rose
Rosa ‘Chrysler Imperial’
Chrysler Imperial is a deeply romantic hybrid tea rose bred by Dr. Walter E. Lammerts and introduced in the U.S. by Germain Seed & Plant Co. in 1952. With rich, velvety crimson-red blooms and one of the strongest fragrances of any rose, it’s a long-standing favorite in cutting gardens and formal beds. This variety is a vigorous, upright grower that flowers in flushes throughout the season and holds its own in both heat and competition.
