Not only has 'Arthur Bell' been popular as a garden rose, it has been of immense importance in bringing its health and vigour to following generations. 'Typhoo Tea' and .... are but a few of its progeny.

The Final Analysis 1980-81
Typhoo Tea Rating 7.4. (McGredy). 'Fragrant Cloud' x 'Arthur Bell'. Geranium with paler reverse. A tall grower which does well everywhere. Flowers often up to exhibition standard. No real problems. It has a very rich fragrance and is worth growing for this asset alone.

Angela Pawsey. A Rose by Any Other Name.
If the breeder is prepared to use the money, earned by naming a rose after a product such as 'Typhoo Tea', in research to help produce even better and healthier rose varieties, then I suppose the public will have to grin and bear it.

Review of Newer Roses.
Typhoo Tea Geranium paler rev. 6 reports. 5 years. Average height 200cm. Rating 7.4. Taranaki: Very strong healthy bush with plenty of well formed blooms and oh! that perfume! Invercargill: Very tall. Lovely perfume. Blooms disappointing this year. Manawatu: Lack of good substance is only gripe, other pluses like good shape, strong bush and having fragrance far outweigh. Likes some shade.

p15. Review of New Roses 1978-1979
Typhoo Tea Geranium. 11 reports. 4 years. 200cm. Rating 7. Manawatu: People either like it or loathe it. I wouldn't be without it. Hard to get on showbench, superb fragrance. Christchurch: Very healthy, good garden rose and at times very good exhibition standard. North Taranaki: Bright colour becomes flat after shapely bloom passes exhibition stage, very fragrant.
