Chrysler Imperial Rose

Description:

The organism is Hybrid Tea Rose, specifically known as Rosa “Chrysler Imperial.” This is a class of hybrid tea garden rose flowers that were developed by cross-breeding two types of roses known as hybrid perpetuals and tea roses. These flowers are well-formed and have large, high-centered buds that are supported by long, straight and erect stems. These are among the world’s most popular type of roses. This variety of hybrid tea rose was bred and publicly debuted by Dr. Walter E. Lammerts of Descanso Gardens, La Cañada Flintridge, California, USA in 1952. Its stock parents 'Charlotte Armstrong' (cerise pink) and 'Mirandy' (dark oxblood red). The gracefully elongated buds open into high-centered blossoms with a diameter of about 11–13 cm (4.5–5 in) and can have up to 45-50 petals (which is a high number for a hybrid tea rose) with a rich, deep, velvety color. The rose bush reaches 75 to 200 cm (30 to 79 in) height, and a diameter of 60 to 120 cm (24 to 47 in). The plant has strong, deep roots and dark matte-green leaves. The leaves are alternate and p innately compound (i.e., feather-formed), usually with oval leaflets that are sharply toothed.
