Seductively dark in color and always dependable about delivering the flowering goods, ‘Oklahoma’ is an old school rose that still has what it takes to show up all the newcomers. Its dense, bushy form is populated by large, deep green leaves giving it a dense landscape appearance and great backing for big, beefy buds that top long stems starting in late May. These buds open to show off nearly black, velvet red blooms that are as big as they are fragrant. This deep, black-red color is rare in the garden making ‘Oklahoma’ even more valuable for anyone that’s a sucker for deep, lush color. Its blooms are plentiful so be sure to bring some inside to shine in a vase in a prominent place.
