I'm not sure I received the correct rose

The rose I received is mature and seems pretty healthy. Already had blooms on it, and within a few days of arrival already had 2 roses open. I was very happy with it and excited! However, ... the blooms aren't red. They're 2 different shades of pink. Very pretty. Smell nice. But red? They are not. Would be 5 stars if the roses were the correct color!

Dear Z. S.,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your new rose! We’re delighted to hear that the plant arrived healthy and blooming—and how wonderful that you’re already enjoying those lovely scents and colors.

Regarding the color difference you noticed, it’s possible that sometimes roses labeled “red” can vary slightly depending on the variety, age of the blooms, or even environmental factors like soil pH and sunlight. If you received a different colored rose than ordered, we want to make that right for you! Please reach out to our customer care team with your order details, and we’ll be happy to review your purchase and suggest the best steps forward.

In the meantime, feel free to check out our rose care guides on our website, which include helpful tips on nurturing blooms and understanding variations in color expression throughout the growing season. We hope you continue to enjoy the evolving beauty of your roses!

To greener days ahead,
Nature Hills Customer Care & Plant Support

Dear Z. S.,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your new rose! We’re delighted to hear that it arrived healthy, mature, and blooming so quickly—what a lovely surprise! We understand how important it is to receive exactly what you expected, especially when it comes to flower color.

It sounds like you received a beautiful pink variety rather than the classic red you were anticipating. Sometimes, similar rose varieties can have closely related colors or variations that might cause a mix-up in the ordering. To help resolve this, we’d love to take a closer look at your order details and photos if you have any. This will allow us to check whether there was a labeling issue or polination variation affecting the bloom colors.

In the meantime, some pink varieties do share scent profiles with red roses, so you’re still enjoying a lovely fragrance—something we know many rose lovers appreciate! Feel free to contact us at [insert customer service contact] with any pictures or order info, and we will help you happily sort out the best next steps (whether it's an exchange, a SKU check, or planting tips for your specific rose).

Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback—it helps us continually improve. We want your garden purchases to feel like a perfect charmer!

Bloom on,

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I water my Mister Lincoln rose and how much water does it need?
  • Water Mister Lincoln roses deeply once or twice weekly, providing about 1 inch of water per week. In hot, humid zones 7-10 where this variety thrives, increase frequency during peak summer heat. Water at the base to keep foliage dry and prevent disease.

When does the Mister Lincoln rose bloom and for how long is the blooming period?
  • Mister Lincoln begins blooming in late spring and continues producing velvety red flowers all summer long as a repeat bloomer. This reliable hybrid tea thrives in zones 7-10, delivering continuous 4-inch blooms with strong fragrance. Shop at Nature Hills for this low-maintenance rose that keeps your garden colorful from spring through fall.

Is the Mister Lincoln rose deer resistant?
  • The Mister Lincoln rose has thorns that provide some natural deterrent against deer browsing. However, hybrid tea roses are not considered truly deer resistant, as hungry deer will still browse them when other food sources are scarce. Plant in areas with good visibility from your home or consider additional deer deterrents if deer pressure is high in your area.

Will this rose survive winter in my area without protection?
  • Mister Lincoln rose is hardy in USDA zones 7-10 and handles hot, humid conditions well. In zones 6 and below, you'll need winter protection like burlap wraps or mulch mounding. Check your specific zone and provide protection if you're borderline.

How long after planting can I expect to see the first blooms on my Mister Lincoln rose?
  • Mister Lincoln roses typically bloom in their first season, with initial flowers appearing in late spring after planting. This repeat bloomer will continue producing fragrant 4-inch blooms throughout summer in zones 7-10. Plant in early spring for best establishment and blooming success - shop quality stock at Nature Hills.
