‘Firefighter’ is a magnificent hybrid tea rose, renowned for its strong, old-fashioned qualities and its powerful tribute to firefighters everywhere. This rose produces large, high-centred flowers with a rich, velvety red colour that holds its hue beautifully without fading in the sun. The blooms have a strong, sweet raspberry fragrance that is simply intoxicating. With its long, sturdy stems and vigorous growth, ‘Firefighter’ is a fantastic choice for a dramatic display and is considered one of the best red roses available.
General Care Tips:
- Sunlight: Thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to achieve the best blooms and vigorous growth.
- Soil and Watering: Plant in rich, well-drained soil. Water deeply and regularly, about twice a week, to keep the soil consistently moist. Avoid overhead watering to protect the foliage from disease.
- Usage: Its long, straight stems make it a perfect cut flower for bouquets and arrangements. It’s a striking addition to a garden bed, and its robust nature makes it a great choice for a showpiece plant in a border or a large pot.
