Date Aquired: 2002
I aquired this rose at a Tacoma Rose Society sale. It had been shovel pruned from the Point Defiance Rose Garden. The original plant was a grafted
specimen that was getting tired, but I have propagated an own-root replacement. The blooms are very large and fragrant, in a saturated burnt-orange to vermillion hue, with some coral as well. It's
difficult to photograph accurately, but impossible to miss in the garden. The foliage is quite healthy, although the plant itself is a typical lanky Hybrid Tea.
Arkansas has all but disappeared from commerce. It's a good rose and deserves to be saved from extinction.
