Tea roses originally came from China that is why they were also called “tea-scented China roses”. Because of the climatic differences between China and the European countries and the different way of growing them, a new breed of tea roses was created. They have big, dense perennials typically with healthy and shiny leaves. Furthermore, they have a wide range of colours like pinks, blushes, whites, red, orange and yellow.
