The Chrysler Imperial, A Classic Hybrid Tea Rose
A beautiful velvety rose with a heavy spicy fragrance that has been around since 1952, originally used in marketing of the Chrysler Imperial automobile. The 1953 winner of All-America Rose Selections (AARS), a nonprofit association created by the American rose industry and dedicated to the introduction and promotion of exceptional roses.
How interesting...and such a lush photo. I wonder how Chrysler used this rose in their ads?
ReplyDeletehow about that? what an interesting history.
ReplyDeleteOur (I should say, my husband's) 3 rose bushes by our front door keep on blooming & blooming too.
I was totally expecting a photo of the car! I, too, wonder how Chrysler used the rose in their ads. Thanks for the introduction to the real Imperial.
