Teas

Tea Roses are roses that were produced prior to 

1867.  They are called tea roses because it is said they acquired a tea scent from being shipped in tea crates in the 1800's from Europe to America. They a repeat bloomers and ease care.

Mrs. Dudley Cross's bloom has a light lemon yellow with light pink coloring on the edges.I enjoy watching the bloom through the stages of opening.

Mrs. Dudley Cross-1907     I read a newspaper article from 1916 about Fellsmere, the small city we live in.

A woman talked about a rose in her yard...it was Mrs. Dudley Cross!
