Monsierur Tillier red tea rose bush atop long trunk. Usually deep beautiful red, but can sometimes show lighter pink version, at least on a new branch from the base this past year. Branches tend to be stiff and criss-cross each other, making it difficult to trim. But is fairly hardy and wants to get big. April 3, 2022, Goleta, California.
November in S California. 3 year old own root shrub from Antique Rose Emporium. 7x7 feet. Never pruned only lightly shaped and deadheaded. 18 mo old Rosette Delizy is on the left side
