Description
Rich in colour and wonderfully traditional, Rosa ‘Mr Lincoln’ is a classic red rose with real presence. Trained as a half standard with a 90cm clear stem, it brings height, structure and a sense of occasion to the garden, making it ideal for feature pots, entrances and formal planting. Its deep red blooms have that timeless rose beauty that never goes out of style.
Flowering through the summer in repeated flushes, Mr Lincoln is a lovely choice for adding depth and romance to a space. The raised head allows the flowers to be enjoyed up close, whether placed by a doorway, along a path or in a sunny seating area where their colour can really shine.
