Peter Beales of England has identified this rose as ‘Adam’, which is believed to be the first of the Tea roses, thus the name is quite appropriate. It has fully doubled, salmon-pink blooms with hints of apricot and buff. ‘Adam’ can get quite large in comparison to other Teas and would be best if used in the back of a planting or as a short climber. The more we study this rose, the more we like it.

Lots of dark, leathery foliage provides a backdrop for large, fully double (58 petals) flowers of rose pink with a deeper pink reverse. ‘Aloha’ is reminiscent of some of the best big fat Hybrid Perpetuals, but it blooms much more often. This climber is just right for a pillar or trellis, yet will also stand alone as a shrub.

'Always Dream' like her sister, 'Always Hope'. is dependable in providing large colorful swaths in the garden.  Her semi-double pink blooms open to reveal the bright golden stamens.  Her informal cascading habit can spill over large pots or create stunning specimens for all to enjoy.

‘Always Hope’ was named by an long-time ARE employee and cancer survivor. This daily mantra brought her comfort. This rose is certainly one of substance as she blooms prolifically and bears a bounty of hips. This landscape showpiece is ideally suited for large containers or massed in the back of a border where a splash of color is needed.

‘Amazone’ is a seedling of the apricot Tea, ‘Safrano’. This would explain its lovely soft buttery yellow coloration. The golden buds are high centered and open to a three-inch, well-formed rose which reflexes at maturity. The foliage is accentuated with red venation and typical of Teas displays red new growth.
