The Oklahoma rose, introduced in 1964, is one of those classic Hybrid Teas which stays firmly in commerce, and in the hearts of rose lovers. The bloom is a dark red of somewhat loose form and carries a heady old rose scent. It has close relations which are equally enduring and beloved - its seed parent Chrysler Imperial and its sister seedlings (from the same cross with Charles Mallerin) Mister Lincoln and Papa Meilland are also available still and widely grown.
