Firefighter® Bare Root Tree Rose
Rosa ‘ORAdal’ – Firefighter®
Firefighter® is a modern classic — a tall, elegant hybrid tea rose with rich, velvety red blooms and one of the most intoxicating fragrances of any rose today. Bred by Orard in France and introduced by Weeks Roses, this variety was named to honor firefighters who fought during 9/11 and their courage, with proceeds supporting charitable causes. Its large, high-centered blooms unfurl in deep crimson tones with a satin finish, borne on long, strong stems that make it ideal for cutting and display. Bold, fragrant, and dignified, Firefighter® is a rose that commands both admiration and respect.
