All time favoriteReview by Kathryn

What a wonderful rose! This has been my favorite for years. The fragrance and size of the bloom cannot be beat. Colorado has rough winters yet this rose makes it through and produces every year (Posted on 9/12/2018)

Outstanding color and fragranceReview by Jeannie

Rating

Mister Lincoln rose is very reliable in Louisiana zone 8. The repeat blooms are gorgeous, fragrance is fantastic and shrub is extremely healthy and nicely formed. I have two others of this variety and they never fail to put on a beautiful show. (Posted on 7/13/2018)

Mr Lincoln is one of my all time favorite roses. I purchased this early spring and it has 4 blossoms now. the rich deep red that has the most wonderful Rose fragrance and the plant has the gorgeous glossy dark green foliage. It is stunning against my white privacy fence. (Posted on 6/19/2018)

A classic rose for the agesReview by Aloysius

Rating

This year I ordered three own-root hybrid teas from Heirloom -- two old favorites and one Kordes: "Mister Lincoln," "Tropicana" and "Sunny Sky." I followed their planting instructions to the letter, and now all three are thriving and blooming. In fact, the bushes have tripled in size in a relatively short amount of time -- despite punishingly hot and windy days here in Central Texas (zone 8). Thank you, Heirloom Roses. You rock!

Robust BushReview by LincolnLover

Rating

I love the fragrance, the large blooms, and the long stems. I can cut these for a vase and they can compete with any florists' arrangement. The thorns are formidable, but the flowers are well worth it. For years, it has been the only thing I could keep alive in my yard. As a mature bush, I don't fuss with it at all. I live in zone 8.

Hopeful for springReview by Dave

The rose bush will hopefully survive into spring. The bare root plant appeared to be healthy when it was planted in the fall. There seems an even split among authorities as to fall planting of roses in Chicago. (Posted on 12/28/2017)

Stately FlowerReview by Henry

Rating

Got a gallon size last July and has produced 3 flowers so far, truly fragrant and could've produced more had fall and frost not set in here in Ohio. I do look forward to a more prolific bloomer next season. A really standout in my garden, so distinct in color and not loud at all. (Posted on 9/30/2017)

Beautiful rose, especially for Northern CAReview by Michifur

Rating

Wonderful red rose, vigorous, prolific, lovely fragrance and form. Lost one star because a little more susceptible to mildew then some of the newer roses. But still can't be beat as one of the all-time greatest red roses!

P.S. All the great roses that I grew in the East coast acid soil, smell totally different in CA. Shocking Blue, which has a delicious lemon scent, had barely any scent and no lemon. Yves Piaget has 15-20% anise and is nowhere near as sweet. On the good side, all the "fruity" roses smell sweeter, like Secret. Other good roses for CA are Elle, Sheila's Perfume, and Beverly (though not if too much shade/wet/fog, because it tends to ball in wet moist weather). (Posted on 4/30/2017)

Had this beforeReview by Walter

I got one of these when I had my son Walter. He is now 33yrs and my rose bush has been left at my last home and I so wish to get another one. I just love the smell and it lasts for so long. (Posted on 3/10/2017)
