'Licorice Tea' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

If this is obtained from the cross of a modern Austin and a tea, what makes it a tea? I'm not contesting it being a tea, I'm only asking to know what makes a tea a tea. If it's half tea and half modern, why is it considered a tea and not a modern?

Generally speaking the breeder knows the growth characteristics and assigns it a class according to those. A rose derives half of its genes from each parent, but as the parent of any child can tell you, one parent or the other usually dominates, lol.

Genetically it should be more than "half modern". If M. Tiller is diploid and Lilian Austin a likely tetraploid, Licorice Tea has probably inherited only one third of its chromosomes from its Tea parent.

My band of Licorice Tea took off running. It is very free flowering, and I love the fragrance.
