I'm jealous of your Tea Roses. I only grow the shrub-types or the 'Knockout' roses because I'm too lazy to pamper anything in my zone. ;)

I am replacing 'Topaz Jewel' (small Rugosa) which didn't make it last year for some reason. Just ordered that, today, along with Popcorn seed for Beau.

That is a beautiful rose!

My mother had a yellow “cabbage” rose that produced huge, perfect flowers - I haven’t been able to find one like it. I also can’t find a “Cary Grant” rose that my landscaper said is to die for.

This year, I will replace my white rose - that a gopher got! It was so old I can’t remember if it was a JFK or Pope John Paul.

Yes, they take a lot of care and pampering...but oh the results!

Nice warm rose! (The dead one....did the voles eat the roots?)
