Description

'Toro', also known as 'Uncle Joe', is a beautiful hybrid tea rose that has large, dark red blooms. They are held high on centered, upright shrubs. The large petals unfold slowly and look fresh for a long time as long as it's grown in a dry, non-humid, warm climate. It has good disease resistance and looks great as hedge. Fragrance is mild.
