Description
The tea rose, or rosa x odorata, is considered an old fashioned garden rose. It has a pointed bud. This bud unfurls in a spiral formation, revealing a dense abundance of petals that curl back slightly at the edges, which gives them the appearance of having pointed tips. Tea roses come in a range of typical rose colors, including red, white, pink, yellow and orange. They may be best known, however, for exhibiting the colors associated with the dawn: shades of gold, rose and warm pink that blend into each other with fine tints and highlights. Tea roses are repeat-flowering roses. They are called "tea roses" because their natural fragrance has been likened to that of Chinese black tea.
A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 7 meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
