Sadly, it appears the Ricky Hendrick variety rose is no longer available. If I hear of anyone carrying the variety again, I’ll come back to update this post. Until then –
This rose variety was named for Ricky Hendrick after his death. The Ricky Hendrick variety rose as described- “Lovely and classically formed rose blooms of rich, deep velvety red, usually blooming one to a stem with tremendous substance on a slightly spreading plant with medium semi-glossy green foliage. Bloom 2″, Petals 26-40”
Also – “A very good dark red rose that has a velvety texture along with exceptional exhibition form and very good holding power. It works well in the garden especially when planted next to white or yellow rose companions. Unfortunately there is no noticeable fragrance with this rose, but disease resistance is among the best.”
