Bred by Louis Lens in Belgium and introduced in 1958, 'Queen of Hearts' is a classic hybrid tea with large, high-centered, deep velvety red blooms of perfect form. The flowers are borne singly on long, strong stems and have a strong, sweet fragrance. The plant is upright and vigorous, 4–5 feet, with large, leathery, dark green foliage. Its international names (Dame de Coeur, etc.) reflect its widespread acclaim. It remains a standard for red hybrid teas, combining exhibition quality with garden reliability.
