Dark red Hybrid Tea.
Registration name: Irish Hope (hybrid tea, McGredy, 1927)

Bred by Samuel Davidson McGredy III (United Kingdom, 1927).
Introduced in Australia by Hazlewood Bros. Pty. Ltd. in 1929 as 'Irish Hope'.

Hybrid Tea.  

Crimson - pink, brown shading.  Strong fragrance.  Large, semi-double (9-16 petals), borne mostly solitary, in small clusters, high-centered bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Dense, upright.  

USDA zone 7b and warmer.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  Requires spring freeze protection (see glossary - Spring freeze protection) .
