Tea Roses for cutting

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

My Pink Tea Rose is very happy with the cooler Spring and all the rain of late.

I know people cut these, but I never have since we moved here 3 years ago. I just walk out there and enjoy them. I prune this bush down quite a bit at the end of the season and it always comes back with the most gorgeous flowers. Although pink is not a favorite color, I do like this bush planted by the last lady living here. Don't know what type this one is however.

I also had a hard time cutting roses for the house because I enjoyed them so much in the landscape, but when I did I appreciated them all the more. Your rose's color and large glossy leaves remind me of Queen Elizabeth. It's certainly a beauty whatever its name.

It does look like QE. I sort of thought it might be that one, but wasn't sure. I'm a terrible plant ID person. Mine sure do open out like the Queen Elizabeth.

It's beautiful. I love the pink ones and often cut them for inside. I enjoy the beauty and most of all the fragrance.
