Zone 6b year 2023 SWest Pennsylvania. First impressions? This is the most floriferous of the 80 roses that I currently have. I am new to rose growing but undoubtedly Duchesse de Brabant is the MOST DETERMINED to flower rose of the whole group. She is not stingy with blooms either. Even in adverse conditions this champion rose pushes out blooms and it's just a baby rose not even sent from Rose Petals Nursery for an entire year. It flowered over the winter under lights. All the roses I got from Rose Petals Nursery survived very well overwintered in my gross basement under light. Didn't lose a single one from RPN and they were my single biggest supplier. This is fragrant too. Tea roses are really beautiful in person, much in contrast to the velvet earthiness of the hybrid tea blossoms the tea roses are metallic and silky and ethereal. I really love this class of roses and they do survive with just a little bit of forethought and protection.
