A long-lasting cut rose!

Large, raspberry scented blooms of a rich red!

One of the most magnificent red roses ever is a fitting tribute to the men and women who've served our country. Plump buds unfurl into huge, high-centered blossoms in a bright, true red. As the raspberry-scented flowers mature, their bright color is softened by overtones of pastel pink. The fragrant flowers last up to two weeks in the vase! Var: JACopper (PPAF). Zones 5-10.

Magnificent Red Rose- Beautiful Fragrance!
Yvette from FL wrote (September 24, 2012):
This rose produces the most elegant long stem red roses I have ever seen. Better than the kind you get delivered from the florist. Do not pay attention to Monica from PA's review- she obviously has no idea how to trim roses. I have had Veterans' Honor Roses for a few years now, and as long as you know how to trim the bush you get an excelllent height and plenty of blooms. The cut roses stay fresh in a vase for several days. These roses mean more than just decoration for me, my husband is a veteran and they are a fitting tribute to his service and sacrifice.
Red Velvet
Mrs. Smith from LA wrote (June 14, 2012):
Beautiful deep red velvety blooms. Quickly grows to 7-8 feet each season. I have to frequently cut back to avoid this rose reaching the ceiling on my porch. Blooms February through December in my state. Great rose to plant to remember our troops. Beautiful fragrance, long lasting blooms.
Huge, gorgeous blooms
Color Goddess from TX wrote (June 05, 2012):
I have two of these and they produce the most beautiful red roses I've ever seen. They bloom from March through November with enormous, long-lasting and very fragrant roses.
