Mine is finally arriving this week, yay! Concerning your comments about THT preferring cool weather, I live in Petaluma, would she be happy lightly shaded by trees? Don't want to bake her. Thank you!

FWIW, it does seem to like a coastal situation . . . But I can't speak to shade.

Maybe 'Mme. Philemon Cochet' from 1887 could be considered as a possibility for the true identity of this rose. It was available from Californian nurseries in the early 20th century and there is certainly a resemblance to the Journal des Roses illustration, including flushed buds.

I thought "Tamalpais Homestead Tea" could be 'Elie Beauvilain.' After I compared the anatomy of the receptacle, I am about 80% convinced they are different. I'll post the images here soon.

In California on May 16, 2005 at Gregg and Phillip’s home garden, I recognised their ‘Elie Beauvilain’ as being the same as our Western Australian “Mr. Williams Gloire de Dijon”. And yet at El Cerrito I saw a bloom of “Tamalpias Homestead tea” on the show tables, and only noted its name. You took us to see that incredibly beautiful [mother plant] bush and it seemed to be more lush and have more petals and I still did not make the connection. I know you would have compared ‘Tamalpias Homestead tea” with the Vintage plant?
Does anyone know if there has ever been any follow up to Jedmar’s comment on ‘Gloire de Libourne’ in the yellow Journal des Roses illustration in the ‘Elie Beauvilain’ file?

I must take a look. I took apart the blooms of both "Tamalpais Homestead Tea" and Elie Beauvilain and convinced myself they are NOT the same. Bloom shape and color are quite similar, but the receptacles, sepals and pistils are different.

It would be interesting to compare it with John Hook's "Le Parre" (sorry, can't do the accent), which he thought was Belle de Bordeaux. I don't know if he still thinks so.

Yes but I can't distinguish your rose from Elie Beauvilain on my iPhone. Certainly "Tamalpais Homestead Tea" would never be mistaken for a noisette. It grows bolt upright. Only the blooms nod.

I believe this may be a Hybrid Tea. I thinned my plant this year and removed at roughly two thirds of the canes. The plant immediately responded with strong new growth. The blooms appear in typical Tea-shaped inflorescences.
