All these blooms are from one basal break. Originally it was registered as a floribunda, but many rosarian friends said : “ Why don’t you change it to a Hybrid Tea”? So I went ahead and changed the registration. At the local rose show it won ‘King’, second best in show, with a bloom only 4.5 inches dia, the only one open for that show.
Disbudded, as I would do to exhibit it as a HT specimen bloom, it produces blooms of 6 inches dia. |
Tri-Valley RS, Washington State, 2003 show. This was the first time shown as a "Floating Floribunda" and it won the trophy in this class. Just after this show it was reclassified as a Hybrid Tea.

At the Vancouver, BC Canada 2002 rose show.
The Most Meritorious exhibit is selected from all vases of THREE blooms, whether Miniature, HT, Fl & Old Garden Roses etc. |
The same fully open bloom, side view to show the height of the bloom. |
Vancouver, B.C. Rose Show 2003. This is the first time Buffy Sainte-Marie was shown as a Hybrid-Tea. It was a smaller bloom than average (4 1/2" dia) and to everyone's surprise, it won King of Show (2nd Best) ! Had it been average size of 5 1/2 " (disbudded) it could have won "QUEEN" !
This and all future photos are now taken with digital cameras !! |
