We carry all the reds mentioned, War Chief, Warrior King, Sinister,
Unforgettable Fire, Rubistar and Dynamite. My favorite by far is Dynamite,
absolutely huge with nice foliage and great growth habits. It doesn't wash
out in the heat like a lot of the reds do. I measured the blooms for the
heck of it this year and they were 9" wide!! Great branching and bud count
(13).
