A great rose here in the UK.
A real bloom machine that grows vigorously and radiates good health, standing up to the elements without losing any of its good looks and charm.
Despite cool, damp, rainy springs... The blooms never fail to open and I have never seen the buds ball despite the many petals. It is reliably covered with masses of buds and blooms and for me, repeating very well.
The foliage is plentiful and healthy and what few spots that show never make any impact. In fact, she is semi-evergreen here in what would be equivalent to a USDA zone 7.
She will, on occasion, toss out long canes and these can be utilised or pruned out depending upon the desired overall shape. Note that in high winds and especially when accompanied by the extra weight of rain... Before these long canes have hardened and fully matured, they can be torn off by the wind... So secure them if you desire to keep them.
In my years of growing T.G. It has earned its place amongst my favourites and I can say it does equally well in the garden or planted in a large container.
I wish more roses had its good attributes.

I grew Teasing Georgia for about 8 years in Virginia. While there, I found it only moderately thorny, certainly not excessively so. Thorns/prickles are an issue with me so I notice the amount of prickles quickly to the point that it is now an important factor in whether I buy a particular variety or not .

Height of 42" in the description is misleading. Someone in zone 5b reported it being over 8' tall. I'm going to change my rose order since Teasing Georgia is too tall.

Sharifa Asma and Tamora stay relatively short and You might prune them as HT's.
S.A. has a very delicate but strong fragrance.

Yes, plant habit and size in the rose registration for a plant bred in England often is understated for the rose grown in the United States.
I have added the MR 12 REFERENCE from the ARS website and the description states that the rose growth is 3.5' or 42". That's in England .. lol.
Smiles,
Lyn
