No. 1 is Irene Bonnet:

No. 2 is Bon Silene:

Alec's Red is not number 3, but I found this guy resting on a bud when I went to take pictures of the other two this afternoon:

Jesse Hildreth. The blush pink is Mme Antoine Mari, Jesse is the white flowers.

This is grown in much less than 'FULL' sun, mainly reflected light, behind a 6' fence with the sun filtering through the neighbor's huge magnolia and the Hollywood juniper on the other side of the fence. I use NO "chemicals" of any kind and we're nine flat miles from the Pacific with a heavy marine influence. Not bad foliage, is it?

Jesse here. Yours looks great, Kim. Mine had heavy snow damage last Winter but carries on.

I think I'll say 'Archduke Joseph', just because it's as floriferous as any other Tea, but huge. Mine has climbed up through the mature persimmon and on to the wisteria pergola, and is four to five meters in all directions. Now imagine this major climber smothered in blooms. I have a photo of it from a few years ago on HMF.

In the Bay Area of California, it was Marie Pavié.

In Colorado, it is Icecap.

I have planted Marie Pavé in my new zone 5 garden, but it is still very young. I am hoping that it will someday outshine Icecap.

Thank you all so much for the responses and beautiful pictures. This reminds me of a post from long ago by Luxrosa who had done a count over a season and found out the teas had given the most flowers. At least, I think it was the teas. :-)

My Ducher is growing in less than ideal circumstances like Roseseek's Jesse. It gets only a few hours afternoon sun, but blooms and blooms regardless.

Teas certainly do produce a lot of flowers. But polyanthas do as well, and can be grown over a wider climate range, not that anyone gardening in zone 9 needs to worry about this!

Polyanthas were a favorite of the late James Delahanty who assembled a collection of them.

I'll also throw in Ivor's Rose, Flamenco Rosita. This is right now.

Kim, the foliage is one of the truly wonderful aspects of Jesse Hildreth! You just can't fault that lovely foliage -- the perfect backdrop for the blooms.
