Rosa Rouge Adam 'Adahuin' is a modern bush rose with large single flowers obtained by Michel Adam. This excellent variety obtained the title of "Grand Rose of the Century" in Lyon in 1996. This dense shrub with a bushy and upright habit, reaches about 80m (26ft) in height and 50cm (20in) in width at maturity. It has a rapid growth rate. It produces strong, thorny and well-branched stems, which bear foliage that is thick, sturdy, and elegant. The leaves are bronze at bud break, then a glossy dark green. The foliage is highly resistant to diseases. From May to October, the plant produces waves of large flowers with a diameter of 13 to 14cm (5 to 6in), with a typical turbinate shape of tea hybrid roses. They are composed of 77 to 85 petals of a perfectly uniform cardinal red colour, with a velvety appearance. They open to a tightly packed heart populated with almost black reflections. They are carried singly at the end of long shoots from the current year or by those that emerge from 2-year-old stems. The flowers will continue to bloom if faded roses are regularly removed. In this variety, there is no fragrance.

Rosa Rouge Adam has a place in all flower gardens. Its magnificent flowers will enhance the decor of any bed, even the most modest. Roses of such red truly radiate in sunny regions, especially in semi-shade and against the light. With its sumptuous flowers and beautiful floribundance, Rosa Rouge Adam will go well in a large rose bed or as a standalone plant in a well-maintained small garden. It adapts to all soils that are not too dry and all climates, tolerating both rain and heat. It pairs perfectly with pale-pink roses like Prince Jardinier, or white roses like Fée des Neiges, and pretty easy-to-grow perennials like daylilies, royal lilies, perennial geraniums, or campanulas.
