Mister Lincoln, no doubt about it.

Mr. Lincoln's Rose Petal Jelly
There is no doubt, my favorite is Mr. Lincoln. I love the deep color, the size of the rose, and most of all the fragrance.
I have a rose garden with different varieties, but when the breeze is blowing across the garden into my open window... it is the Mr. Lincolns that we smell.
Aside from making pot-pourri, another use for the Mr. Lincoln rose is in making rose petal jelly. I've tried the different roses, but only Mr. Lincolns hold the scent, have the deepest color, and what a gourmet taste! I've given jars as gifts and they are received with much excitement.
No doubt about it... my favorite is Mr. Lincoln.
