Great warm climate, old fashion rose if you have the space. Once it gets started It withstands both heat and will continue to survive, on less water than most. I live in Phoenix Arizona, and it is against a white wall facing south and withstands temperatures of 110' as wekk as poor soil.
Shade the smaller plant until it gets started and do deep watering to establish deep roots.. Be prepared for a very large bush (6'x6') if pruned, larger if not pruned. It is hard to keep a Tea rose small. They do not like heavy pruning so if you do not have the room for it to stretch out plant something smaller.

This rose can become very large. There is one in a church yard in Charleston, SC that is at least 7' tall and about as wide.

Mine is about 9 ft. tall and 9 ft. wide. I love looking up and seeing the blooms above me - it is like a rose tree!!!!! No disease, huge flushes of blooms - over 100 at a time. I have mine in heavy clay soil, and I don't fertilize a lot. It is amazing.

Will Mrs. B.R. Cant tolerate and do well with a Northwest corner planting, in full sun for 5 hours for a few months in late fall-early winter, with 7 hours or more the rest of the year in Central Florida? There are no trees shading this area. The problem arises when the sun angle moves further south and is somewhat behind our house until about 1:00 p.m.

She should be happy as a clam. She's a very obliging rose. :-)

Is this rose shade tolerant? Does it have a tendency to ball? I'm in the Seattle area and am interested in growing it if it will pass muster in our climate (Zone 8). Thanks for your help. Sue

Sue,
Alto' I haven't grown the rose, if you look at the number of petals in the bloom, it's almost safe to say that even though the plant may tolerate shade, it will not do it's best in shade as roses with many petals need sunlight to open fully.
As to whether or not a tea rose will do well in Seattle, you already know that this class of rose is tender in northern climates. However, many teas and chinas are rated cold hardy through zone 6. A lot will depend on the micro climates in your garden.
Good luck with your roses.
Smiles,
Lyn
