I believe that "Sawyer Plot Tea" and "Georgetown Tea" are both 'Mme Lambard.' From plants growing in my own garden, I have compared the canes, armature, blooms, foliage, growth habit, petals and stamens of the three varieties. I find no difference. Variation in color and bloom form made the match more difficult initially, but now further confirms the attribution. All three roses show the same variations. I have posted some photos for comparison to each rose on HMF. I cannot locate my photo of the petals of Mme Lambard, but I will post one soon.
The leaves have small prickles on the reverse of the rachis. Canes are burgundy and glaucous in new growth. Flowers occur singly and in clusters of up to four blooms and have 45-50 petals, which have a distinct sulfur yellow center. The blooms have nice Tea scent. The warmer the climate, the more vigorous the plant.
