Breeder : Cocker (Scotland) 1973
Culture : Although this type of planting is completely outdated, this bush with foliage can tempt those who want an elegant massive with red flowers. This is not a good choice even if his large double flowers are fragrant and hold well in vases. Unfortunately, he is highly susceptible to diseases. Note that Harkness has created a climber who is much less ascending.
Usage : To get a scented massive mass and cut flower, plant Alecs Red in shade because his color is not holding in the hot sun.
Association : A cloud of Nepeta.
Diseases : Few resistant to marsonia. He must be treated imperatively during the whole season otherwise he loses all his leaves and because the photosynthesis can no longer take place, he does not re-flourish. That’s why we have left him out our 2009 catalog.
