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.

Water Saving Tip:

Watering every day results in shallow roots.

Instead, water deeply every few days using the Cycle and Soak method (two or more short run times, each separated by about an hour).
