The tea rose is a very small type of rose and it doesn't get a lot of hype. This is not a plant that is going to take a lot of your time when it comes to pruning, but it still is a rose bush. You'll still need to take care of it like a rose bush. You'll need to watch how you plant it, and you'll need to do weeding, but that is any plant. You'll also want to prune it every now and then just so that it will grow and continue to bloom. You'll find that the tea rose is not a strong rose bush at all.
The wind may hurt it a little. You don't want to sacrifice your investment, so you may need to stake the plant every now and then or give it shelter. You'll want to keep in mind that these hybrid roses are less expensive then most rose bushes, however, you'll need to plant them very carefully in order to keep them going. They will need some TLC the first year that you have planted them; however, you'll need to also consider that they are hardy plants. Every year they are growing stronger and stronger.
These flowers are typically white, pink, red, yellow, and green. They are on the lighter side, but there are a lot of plants that you'll be able to grow that are also on the lighter side. You'll be able to continue to stick with your color scheme. You'll also want to consider that the tea rose will change the look of your garden as well. You'll find that the hybrid rose bush will add some grace and elegance to the garden, just because they have the class of normal roses.
For those who are thinking about landscaping and have children, you'll want to consider having the hybrid roses. They are thorn-less, but also you'll find that they are just as easy to fence in. You'll also want to consider the hybrid roses if you have a small backyard or space. You'll find that with the smaller bushes you'll be able to keep the yard looking alive and welcoming, but it also won't over power the yard either.
Some of the drawbacks to this type of rose is the fact that it is a rose. Often, there are people who will plant these flowers because they feel that it would easier for them to have, however, a garden means work. You'll need to work at it in order to keep it looking nice. You'll find that there are many other plants that need just as much as attention, but they do not deliver the beauty and the grace of hybrid roses.
