It's rare that I get rid of a rose after just one year, but this one is going to have to go.
Supposedly teas are good in warm climates, and in my limited experience this has been true for other teas here, but not Regulus.
Poor vigor, weak, twiggy growth, meh fragrance, but worst of all is the blooms. They open and fry within just a few hours in the sun, and then the fried petals cling on forever if not deadheaded. So the shrub is either an eyesore, or flowerless.

I'm still observing mine, but i have to agree so far... i have both Regulus and Paul Nabonnand, almost next to each other in big pots. Both look very similar, the growth is unpleasant, twiggy so far, and the flowers don't last long at all. I'd say in the autumn is 2 days maximum - in the summer till 2pm :D (next to them Mmselle Franziska Krüger holds flowers nicely for 4-6 days in 30-35 Celsius...)
AND the leaves... they look very unattractive, rather ugly texture with leaflets dropping off every single day, getting the bushes always half naked. Very strange, don't normally see roses like this.
