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!

Yes, perfect. Almost looks like velvet.

Thanks, it does look like velvet doesn't it? I was happy the photo captured
that, although it's actually even more velvety looking than it appears in
the picture.
