Is Raphaela petals really low? only 20?

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class which was originated by me by crossing an unnamed seedling with the unpatented variety TANettelur.

I planted this Raphaela h/t rose in the Spring of 2007. I started it from a budded maiden. It took a little bit to get really started good but now that it has it has really produced some very pretty flowers both singly and in sprays. The bush has stayed very disease resistant with no sign of PM or BS or any insect infestation that I have seen. I would recommend this as a good rose for the garden and it still can produce the occasional exhibition quality bloom as well.
UPDATE 12/2010--Well, now that I have grown this rose for three full years I have some thoughts about it. This is a tough rose to get good blooms on. Raphaela can produce dazzlingly beautifully formed long-stemmed (thorny!), and vibrantly orange colored blooms if the conditions are just right. The bush is tough as shoe leather and nothing bothers it at all. No disease, bugs, heat, cold, etc...nothing at all. The blooms have super petal substance and need lots of dry weather to open from bud stage but even then you have to pry the petals apart to get them to exhibition stage as they just don't quite open enough on the bush. And doing that is not east as the blooms are like cast iron and hard to manipulate. The one problem is that if the buds get any moisture on them while they are going through their excruciatingly initial slow opening the petals will stick and not open at all without immediate attention and assistance by the gardner to dry the bloom and help pry them open so they can finish what opening they will do. There is absolutely no fragrance to the blooms at all. The bush does not produce alot of flowers so if you want more you will just have to buy more bushes. The bush itself is very upright growing with very straight stems and does not encroach on the neighbors. The foliage is very dark green with some deep purple tint to it at times. It is of appropriate size and is extra thick and leathery and disease resistant to all diseases so far for me.
It doesn't put out alot of basals and the bush only gets to about 4 1/2' to 5' tall at the most. Most flushes have only 6-10 flowers that go slow and last a long time and then the repeat is not real fast. I just get three flushes usually in my zone 5a/6b garden where most of my roses give me a good 5 or 6 flushes in a growing season.
So for the most part I think this rose is geared more to the professional rose exhibitor type who is willing to do all the work to get those perfect show blooms. The casual rosarian/gardner might not find this rose to be very good in their garden.
Just my opinion, for what it is worth.
