Description:
The Loving Memory Rose (Rosa ‘Loving Memory’) is a classic hybrid tea rose, cherished for its deep, velvety red blooms with a perfectly shaped, high-centred form. This elegant variety produces large, fully double flowers on long, sturdy stems, making it an excellent choice for cut flowers and floral arrangements.
