Rose bud help please
 

Can anyone tell me if there is a red rose that only partialy opens, like
some of those you get from florists, which seem to never fully open ?

Thanks in advance,
Tony

There is a very deep red HT that has so many petals (80)that it is unable to
fully open, know as Uncle Joe and Toro,

Kordes Roses (Germany) is one of a number of breeders who specalise in "Cut
Flower" roses.
http://www.kordes-rosen.com/englisch/index.html
These roses are mainly used by the florist trade, as they can take 10+ days
to open fully and last well in the vase.
Many rose suppliers stock them for gardeners (like me) that like these types
of roses.
The trade off is that they tend to be less fragrant, but that is not always
true some are very fragrant.

I assume someone in your country / area will stock "Kordes Roses"

Their famous cut flower red is "Kardinal" which has a reasonably good scent.
