Opening Night™ Oklahoma Olympiad Opening

Oklahoma
Hybrid Tea
You might not expect the Sooner sister of Mister Lincoln to
have such a dusky dark red color. But yes, she does have
the same delicious scent. This most known of the blackreds produces big buds and graceful flowers on a bushy
plant beset with large leaves. Comments: Darkest color
& best performance with some heat.

A finely toned athlete, this reddest-of-red roses will
continue to win medals for many years to come. The
bright true-red color shows through from the pointedbud stage to the final moments of the very long-lasting
well-formed flowers. Each large bloom is held on long
stout stems produced by the very vigorous upright
plant. Distinctive grey-green foliage. Comments: Proven
consistent color. Best size when cool.

All the world loves a red, red rose…and the debut of
Opening Night is certain to be a glittering success since
it’s the reddest of red when it comes to roses. Each showy
shapely blossom comes solo on top of long strong stems
clothed with a dark green gown of foliage. Whether she’s
showing off in a bouquet or performing in the garden,
the large flowers are very long-lived, holding that same
brilliant red until the very close of the curtain. Comments:
Great red color in all climates. Best flower form & size in
cool temps.

(cv. TANtolg)
Whether it’s named for the metal or the beautiful State is
hard to say. But, no matter what, the lasting deep yellow
color of the big pointed buds and large finely-formed
flowers is certainly a beauty to behold. The glossy polished
dark green leaves make the blooms sparkle all the more.
Comments: Cool conditions improve color & size.
