I thought HMF had the photo of one that was a full size usual big Tea size. I have a young one here that is still in the baby phase, so not a help. I'm headed to HMF.

I think the second to last photo by Maurizio in HMF made me think it was full size.

Your baby plant is so cute, Sheila. Do you find that your roses grow well without snipping off the buds on young plants? I've always been a snipper but I'm wondering if that's really necessary. The new tea beds that you created grew like gangbusters from one year to the next, and I'm assuming you left the buds on the roses there also.

I never did the bud snipping, Ingrid, and most of the plants seem to do fine. The pattern seems to be that they do bloom while small, then take a while to grow more mature basals. Would the basals have come sooner if they hadn't bloomed? I really don't know. My slowest include Devoniensis which had a cane torn off by the wind and really did not grow the rest of last Summer. Souv d un Ami had a new basal frozen and did not make another one last Summer. So, injury hasn't helped.

Jesse Hildreth looks full and lush this Spring and is not a slow one. A couple that sat a little longer with less growth were Clementina Carbonieri, and Comtesse Festectics Hamilton. They did not particularly waste energy blooming while young, they more just sat there. Now that you mention it, it seemed like the ones that sat there had bloomed less rather than more.
