More about Tea/ Old Hybrid Tea roses: The Tea roses were introduced from China in the first half of the 19th century. They can be slightly tender but were highly prized for their large blooms, repeat flowering and the inclusion of yellow in the colour range. The early varieties were bred for the show bench, but with further cross-breeding they developed into the hardy garden plants that predominated in the 20th century. They come in a huge range of colours, shapes and sizes.
Pruning guide: Prune in February/ March. Prune very lightly in the first year, reducing stems by no more than 1/3. In subsequent years, growths can be reduced by up to 1/2 to leave a beautifully shapely plant.
