A luminous, cerise-red rose double of extraordinarily heavy substance. Sir John Franklin is densely packed with petals, giving flowers an impactful appearance with a major wow factor. The large flowers are carried on erect growing stems on a well proportioned plant. Mild spicy fragrance. Named after British Royal Navy officer and Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin, who led discovery expeditions into the Canadian Arctic and captained the famed lost expedition aboard the HMS Erebus.
