| She is the prettiest of our Tea roses but also the stingiest with her blooms. OTOH they are wowsers when they open to perfection. Very healthy bush too. |
Follow-Up Postings:

| A healthy bush and a more upright grower than most teas. Not a sprawler (yet). |
|
| The blooms may ball some when it's wet and foggy but most of the time they open well. |
|
| I think she will bloom more generously for you when the plant is really mature. Jeri |
|
| Let's hope so Jeri because I can't get enough of her blooms! You have been spot on with your advice... so I am patient, sorta...... She has not started to spread out yet like the MC in your picture. I saw how big she'll get when we visited the Sac Cemetery but when we visited the spring bloom was over. |

| This rose is so beautiful I'm surprised it's legal. Having any blooms at all right now as you do seems like a great feat. I have close to nothing and there is still the heat of the rest of September and October to get through. Fingers tightly crossed for winter rain....... Ingrid |

| That plant in the photo I posted is the one from the Sacramento City Cemetery -- so it is probably about 19 years old. Also, they don't hard-prune their Teas -- and it does make a difference. The plants are big, and graceful, and bloom beautifully. When I first saw, there, what Tea Roses CAN be, it simply changed my life. Jeri |

| My young 'MC' has had some pretty blooms, but not nearly that richly colored. I hope that she will have some of those darker pink blooms as she gets older. This was the Tea rose that was at the top of my list. I like or love most Teas, but she was one of my first flower crushes, and I was extremely happy that she was one of RU's sale roses this summer. Your photos help me remember all over again why she was a must-have for me... Thanks, |

| She is one of my favorites, an exquisite rose. She is a good bloomer for me but has been in the ground for 6 or 7 years. I would not be without her! |
