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:

An easy water-wise improvement in lawn areas is to change high output spray sprinkler nozzles to low-flow rotators.

You'll have less runoff and be less likely to apply more water than is needed.
