Rose ‘Orange Tea Rose’ Cold hardiness: 3-9 Heat tolerance: 1-9 Climate zones: -/-

Roses have been bred for several hundreds of years. Highly decorative and long the source of perfumes, they grace our tables and our celebrations year round. Their nickname, "The Beauty That Bites", is given in respect of their thorns that can cause deep, stabbing wounds. These thorns can carry a fungus, Sporothrix shenckii, that can result in serious infections and scarring. Long gloves that protect hands and forearms are wise when working with any rose. Eye protection is a must when working with climbing roses which can whiplash when being trellised.

Orange Tea Rose

Red buds open to orange then fade to a delicate evanescent creamsicle. Blink and the color changes. But what happens underground anyway? Roots, that's what is important for a healthy rose. Root stocks are different genetically and less prone to disease than the fussy shoots that humans have bred for color and commerce. Nematodes, voles and gophers will go after the roots of roses... hey, everybody gotta' eat. Click common name for more info.
