Description
A true classic, Rosa ‘Chrysler Imperial’ is loved for its rich, velvety crimson blooms and deeply romantic fragrance. Trained as a half standard, with its elegant 90cm clear stem, it brings height, structure and a lovely sense of formality to pots, entrances and sunny garden borders. It has that timeless rose beauty, but with a strong presence that makes it feel extra special.
The flowers are large, full and beautifully shaped, appearing through the summer in repeated flushes. Their deep red colour adds instant richness to a space, whether you’re creating a traditional garden feel or simply looking for one standout feature in a container by the door.

Caragh’s Garden Notebook
If you love roses with old-school glamour, Chrysler Imperial is hard to beat. The scent alone makes it worth placing somewhere you’ll pass often — beside a doorway, near a seating area, or in a favourite pot where you can enjoy every bloom up close.
