Absolutely lovely, Krista! I didn't know you also have Mme. Joseph Schwartz, a tea rose that I now have for the second time, thank goodness. I love this rose, and feel she should be grown more often, perhaps even in preference to Duchesse de Brabant, whose sport she is. Mlle. Marie Drivon is a rarely seen Bourbon, but then I can always count on you to have interesting and beautiful pink roses. I always think that darker and lighter pinks look smashing together, whether in a vase or in the garden.

How completely charming!!! Each is so different.... saving this post as a reminder of which might survive in my zone. I somehow though DdBrabant would die in zone 6. Is her sport hardier? I have the Duchesse, but am afraid to plant her out and die over the winter. You've also given me an idea on using those old-fashioned Mme. Pompadour type of champagne glasses. They'd be lovely with some of these fragrant beauties and would bring them a little closer to nose level! : ))

Thank you.

Ingrid, MJS is new to the garden this year. I'm determined to try to have at least one Tea Rose in the garden...

Vapor, neither Duchesse de Brabant nor MJS are hardy here. I grew DdB for a number of years, but after a few of these vortex winters, it did not survive. I will try growing it again, but there is no guarantee of survival.

I love everything about them! Your selections, how you’ve presented them, your photographs...all just classically beautiful!! I‘m hoping your teas last for many, many years! :-)

Krista, both your Madam's in the vase look so much alike..twins. I have no idea how you grow teas in your zone but it must be a huge challenge for you or you have a magic touch to grow them well and really look after them super well.
It is lovely to see your pics as they all look so beautiful. Too bad, I can't smell them. Still waiting for scent to be magically release on this muggle device. .

It is challenging, but that makes it interesting... and I'm really fond of Tea Roses.

I was browsing through my folders and came across photos from last year.

You grow the most dreamy roses! Cleo

I've also been wondering if Kathleen h repeats or is essentially a once bloomer.?

They do look so dreamy. Clio looks beautiful and so does the other roses. They look like pink cotton candy, Yum !!
I'm gonna Google on Clio. New to me..lol :)

What a pretty rose. I like drawings like that and when I see antique pics below , I always remember about Virginia. I do miss her .

Amazing roses Krista.... it's surprising to me at least, to find so many quite unusual roses growing where you are... I know they don't all survive every year... but it's fun to try... having seen your property these pink and white roses suit it perfectly I think..

Krista does Blush Noisette do well for you? This is one I’d like to try!

Thank you.

Vapor, KH has light repeat bloom. I grow it in a spot where it gets morning shade.

Jin, I've thought the same thing, that pink roses look like cotton candy. When I was young I liked cotton candy, and the roses remind me of this....

Thanks for posting the painting from HMF. I love the antique paintings and drawings of roses, glad to see them on HMF.

Marlorena, it is fun to try a variety of roses. It's worth it to me to try the Tea Roses, the chance to grow something special and rare. I try to limit how many Tea Roses I would purchase, however... The Hybrid Perpetuals are typically hardy here, and that is wonderful as I love this class of rose.

Dingo, Blush Noisette is 3 - 3 1/2 feet tall here. It's been hardy, this plant is many years old. It will never get to the large size seen in the warm zones, but it's a nice small shrub rose.

Wonderful! I love your roses, so much! They are exquisite. Thank you for posting them.
