This is the hybrid tea rose 'Opening Night', which is one of my favourites.
Every bloom is just about perfect, it's fragrant, and it's the most amazing
true, saturated red colour with none of the bluish or magneta shades many
red roses have. I've also managed to get it to survive through two winters
in a climate that should be too cold for hybrid tea roses....Canadian zone
2a. The secret is to plant them deeply. The graft should be at least 3 or
4 inches below ground level and it doesn't hurt to mound extra soil over the
base before the ground freezes. This is only one of 12 tender roses that
have survived through two winters for me, and this past winter and spring
were really, really nasty!

Good for you. That rose is so perfect, and the leaves, that one might
suspect it to be arttificial. Wow.
