    How is this both a hybrid tea and a polyantha?

    A mid 20thC HT hardy to USDA zone 4b seems a bit too good to be true, but I notice it is or was being grown in Illinois, so maybe.

    Was not 'Queen Elizabeth' the first grandiflora?

    The classes for this rose are taken from the references. Grandiflora as a class is more of an American thing. European nurseries often only speak of HT or floribunda.
