Mistydowns seems to be stocking this one now. Third from the left on this page: https://mistydowns.com.au/product-category/roses/tea/

The HMF references and comments make this rose sound pretty good.

I'm really happy to know this rose is a prolific bloomer since I received it as a bonus rose from Rogue Valley. The one I had initially I discarded since I didn't care for the blooms very much, but my taste must have changed since now I'm quite happy with this one. My only concern is whether it can be kept fairly small since I planted it in a rather confined area. I just had no other room to put it!

I'm of the opinion that Australia's "Almerta Orchard Pink" and the USA's "McClinton Tea" are the same rose.
I had the chance to closely examine "McClinton Tea" recently and, feature for feature, could find no difference.

It would be most helpful if someone in Oz would make a shoot of the petals on a white plate, showing the reverse of some petals. I did that for McClinton Tea, which you can see here:

The only photo that confuses me is Margaret Furness' shot showing folded petals:

I'll give it a shot Cass, and ask if Pat and Margaret can also do this with more established plants from their part of the country.
I saw some well known roses looking quite tricky in Margaret's garden recently - She has magic soil and there's been an abundance of late rain & the roses were growing very vigorously. There was doubling, trebling, quadrupling on some of the blooms that made them unrecognisable! Beaute Inconstante quilled, ruffled and quartered for instance.

This is another foundling from the same place, "Almerta Mrs Heggie's Red" - possibly Beaute Inconstante but I haven't seen orange tones in mine. Two weeks ago all the blooms were at least doubled, pink in the centre and pale outside, and as Billy says, unrecognisable. Now it's in transit to the more usual appearance (bottom left). The palest bloom was from inside the bush, in shade.
(I'll wait to photograph the "Almerta Orchard Pink" till it looks normal!)

I do believe we need to add "Almerta Mrs Heggie's Red" to HMF.

This found tea is a very prolific bloomer with rapid repeat. It ties with Le VĂ©suve as the most floriferous Teas of the 35 varieties I grow. The form is nothing special, but it compensates with very free bloom.

Hi Cass - do you have any photos of the McClinton Tea showing the buds? And the leaves?
Is the open bloom form the norm?

Hi, Billy. I'll take shots of the botanical details and send them to you today. In the hot weather, the blooms are more ragged. They always open wide. The one shot I took at Vintage shows a little form, but I always miss that in my garden. My plant is in full sun, whereas their plant has a western exposure only - - which would have been a better idea!

Thanks Cass.
Indian Summer here at the moment.
Perfect weather for gardening.
