The color of this red would not be considered a dark red according to today's standards, but back when it was introduced, it would have. Also, I have found that certain colors, red and purples especially, are extremely difficult to capture on camera for most people. To my eyes, the reds usually end up being more pink and purples tend to be more red or pink.

Whatever the color of Scarlet Sensation is called, it is still a very lovely rose to grow.

Vintage gardens is offering this rose in gallon size.

The actual height of this fine climber is up to 10'.
