Teas
There is a lot to love about Tea Roses and here at Wairere they rate exceptionally high on our must have list. Tea roses have a delicate beautiful form, lovely texture and an exquisite fragrance. The colour tones are very warm and blend softly to give an overall romantic yet sensual effect. Both the bushes and climbers repeat well throughout the season and given a warm spot in the garden will perform beyond expectation. To many gardeners, the Tea rose epitomizes the true essence of a rose.

Where did the name Tea rose come from? Tea roses originated in China and they are closely related to the China rose which of course gave us the great gift of their ability to repeat flower. Whilst the Chinese did the first hybridization work on Tea roses the French continued this work and began crossing Tea roses with Bourbons. Firstly the first Tea rose was sent to Europe in 1810 by Fa Tee Nursery of Canton. Secondly further stock arrived in the ships of the East India Company; these of course were primarily involved in shipping Tea around the world. Thirdly many folk say the distinctive perfume of Tea roses reminds them of fresh Tea leaves. Regardless of the origin of the name we know that just like you can't beat a great "cuppa" in the morning, you can't beat the Tea rose for adding great beauty and scent to your garden.

Archiduc Joseph
Tea. An outstanding Rose with open flat flowers that have a multitude of petals. The blooms are a pleasing blend of pink, copper and soft orange. The foliage is dark and glossy and the stems have few thorns. A delightful fragrance and generosity of bloom complete the picture. France 1872.
This rose is sometimes confused with Monsieur Tillier and vice versa as they are very similar in appearance however they are definitely different. Archiduc Joseph was named after a great plant collector - Archduke Joseph of Austro-Hungary.
