First of all, it's red. Red, as in the primary color, the definition of red. It's not sort of red, or "crimson," or some such nonsense. It's red, and the color stays to the end without fading or turning to purple.
It's hardy, getting through our ugly NE Wisconsin winters if boxed and buried in ground far better than most hybrid teas. The more of the plant that gets through the winter alive, the better it will grow and the more flowers it will produce.
It is floriferous. Some years ago I had an Ingrid Bergman growing next to a Mr. Lincoln. The Mr. Lincoln might have one or two blooms open at a time; the Ingrid Bergman would have six or eight. And the rebloom is quite fast.
It even has a nice, though slight, fragrance. And it has a true "rose" fragrance, not spicy or fruity.
It does need to be sprayed for black spot; but that is true about nearly all roses. And the flower from isn't always classic; sometimes the blooms are asymmetrical.
I keep trying other red roses, but my two Ingrids are still the best two I have.
