Isabella Ducrot

A found Tea this Isabella Ducrot. Walter Branchi found her in Italy in 2001. She immediately was picked up by specialized Tea nurseries like Loubert, Vivaio fiori di rosa, Tiziano etc...
She also made it to America and now you can find her in several southern rose nurseries. In Australia she's very popular. 

Isabella Ducrot looks a bit like Rosette Delizy but has more gold. The medium to big flowers are cupped at first but turn almost flat and quartered. Colors range from Golden yellow to buff, pink, and carmine pink. One flower can have all these colors. Temperatures determine the color greatly. A good Tea fragrance is present. In my garden her flowers are borne solitary and I had four flushes this year. They hate wet weather and prefer hot and dry days. 

200X150 cm or 6X5 feet are her maximum measurements but usually she stays a bit smaller. Give her a sunny and warm spot. Zone 7b to 10b. She's suitable for pot growth
