Before you start growing tea roses, you must realize that tea roses are not a cold climate rose. They must be grown in a warmer climate like Florida. They simply dont have the necessary winter protection that some cold climate flowers have. And if this is your first time growing tea roses, you must realize that they are not good for the novice gardener, Where-as Landscape Roses are GREAT for the novice gardener, they are disease resistant, and require a little bit less maintenance.
But if you like Climbing Roses, you might want to consider growing tea roses, or Hybrid Teas as they are often called. These roses are different from the regular roses that are planted as they are trained to grow upward like vines. Most people like to use these for trellises, or buildings. Some of the others are wichuraine, and large flowered climbers. They are a beautiful addition to the look of ones house.
And If you are hoping to make your roses into bouquets, you will want to know if they can be cut. Hybrid teas can. Where-as some other types of roses will fall apart at the petals if they are cut.
