Depending on where you are located, St. Patrick rose may be what you are looking for. It has a very traditional hybrid tea form and lasts a long time as a cut flower.

Tropical, you describe what is known in rose show judging as "exhibition form". At rose shows here in the US, we judge HTs/Grandifloras, miniatures and mini-floras based on the bloom having exhibition form (there are other standards, but the form and condition of the bloom holds the highest number of points). Go over to Roseshow.com. Click on the links for "Queens of Show" and "Hybrid Teas/Grandifloras" to see lists of roses with the qualities that you prefer. The statistics are compiled from the results of American Rose Society judged rose shows. You can then go to Helpmefind.com and search for the rose to see additional photos.

In tropical conditions (hot and HUMID), St. Patrick, Louise Estes, Pop Warner, Mavrik, Vet. Honor. All of these do well in my hot, sticky garden almost all year long. I've also growing Pope John Paul 11 for about 10 months. It has done very well in my climate so far.

Falling in Love is good for what you want.

If you can find a source, you may want to try Rina Hugo and Gentle Giant.

By the way, which island do you garden from?

Thank you everyone for your inputs.

I live in the Philippines so virtually ALL KINDS OF ROSES can grow here all year long. We have very high humidity though so we get an occasional rust or powdery mildew.

'Ingrid Bergman' rose seems to be rust and mildew-free here despite our 80-90% humidity most times of the year... It's a great red rose with flowers retaining the 'quilled' form without dropping a single petal or exposing the stamens too much during the entire flower life.
