* Archiduc Joseph:
A very recommended Tea as she's almost Perpetual blooming and is quite hardy. Created by Nabonnand this Tea is a must have if you want to make the switch to Teas
Archiduc Joseph bears medium rather full, cupped to flat blooms in shades of pink with a coppery center. They have a nice Tea fragrance.
Foliage is grey with an almost blue shine. Once this rose is starting off she'll grow quite rapidly and in ideal circumstances she'll get 300 X 200 cm or 7 X 6 feet. Usually she'll stay much more compact and forms a rounded shrub.
Mine started off slowly and at one point I thought she wasn't gonna make it but in July things changed and she got a grow boost resulting in non stop flowers. These flowers are rain and heat proof. It's a very cold resistant Tea and she can grow in zone 6b to 10b. Always take precautions when very cold weather is predicted. A big piece of burlap can be wrapped around the graft area or you can cover it with a thick layer of straw. With very cold I mean lower than - 15° Celsius.
Archiduc Joseph is widely available at nurseries so it means it's a good, strong rose. Buy her!
