Taken February 2023 in Fort Myers FL zone 10b. Along with Etoile de Lyon and Mrs BR Cant, this is one of the best tea roses ever made in my opinion, and certainly one of the best for tropical humid climates. Absolutely stunning in any context. This was a rose garden I designed for the Edison Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers, where I paired Duchesse de Brabant with burgundy snapdragons and silvery white dusty miller. The effect was stunning and people were constantly photographing this garden at the height of bloom.

The Rose makes a very fine bud like the old french lithographs. It's very delicate in person and not really a sturdy rose when young but its blossoms look really good as long as they don't get totally soaked by rain and humidity. This rose wants to set hips.

nice fancy chalice cup blossom, the young rose plant is a bit floppy and droopy but it gives so many flowers! It improves in time.

Zone 6b year 2023 SWest Pennsylvania. First impressions? This is the most floriferous of the 80 roses that I currently have. I am new to rose growing but undoubtedly Duchesse de Brabant is the MOST DETERMINED to flower rose of the whole group. She is not stingy with blooms either. Even in adverse conditions this champion rose pushes out blooms and it's just a baby rose not even sent from Rose Petals Nursery for an entire year. It flowered over the winter under lights. All the roses I got from Rose Petals Nursery survived very well overwintered in my gross basement under light. Didn't lose a single one from RPN and they were my single biggest supplier. This is fragrant too. Tea roses are really beautiful in person, much in contrast to the velvet earthiness of the hybrid tea blossoms the tea roses are metallic and silky and ethereal. I really love this class of roses and they do survive with just a little bit of forethought and protection.
