Forever True
A bright crimson double that flowers about 3 weeks after the first Red Charm. (Although very slightly darker on first opening compared to my Christmas Velvet or Henry Bockstoce, the open flower in the field appears to my eye as a bright red.) The buds are good and sealed, and although the final open size is 150mm (6"), the overall impression to me is of a lighter, medium sized flower, perhaps because of lighter, more open petalage, or by comparison to others such as "Heart of My Heart". However, the great virtues of this variety is that it has a very strong upright bush that never needs support, it is very productive of stems, and it always seems to be very healthy. (This is not a written guarantee since I have no control over how and where people grow their plants!)
