  Dear all
  
  I love Roses, and above all Hybrid Tea Roses. I love the high centre and pointed blooms, and im also quite nostalgic as my parents had some love pink hybrid teas, aswell as peace in the my childhood home.
  
  at the moment the only rose I have in my garden is iceberg, because I love white and also its more of a shrub then hybrid teas which don't look right in a mixed border.
  
  I am hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction of some hybrid teas that perhaps are more bushy in growth habit - or perhaps may look nice as a standard or a climber.
  
  Whats your favorite hybrid Tea, and how do you use it in your garden? Any feedback/opinion on hybrid teas would be most welcome
  
  thanks

  Peace! An old favourite, but still good. Big bush, or can be found in climber form.

  Ingrid Bergman, rich blood-red and fragrant. The sort of rose you`d give to your sweetheart.
  Not too prolific at flowering though - well, nothing`s perfect.

  I have 'Alec's Red' in a mixed rose and shrub border with perennials and ground cover too. I am taking Vita Sackville-West's long lost advice and not pruning it for this year [she recommended this for some HT's] and giving it it's head.
  
  As the rose mentioned above, blood red and fragrant, with large blooms especially good in September. It forms a good sized shapely bush.

  My mother has L'Aimant which grows very sturdily to at least 4ft with wonderfully large pink blooms and is very disease-resistant. It would look lovely in a mixed border.

  Try the David Austin rose called Mortimer Sackler - lovely pink blooms, no thorns and excellent growth

  The only thing I find with MOrtimer Sackler is that it loses its petals quickly after flowering. Have you got any other David Austins? It's hard to choose from the excellent choice!

  Yes I am a fan of the old-fashioned English roses, all are fragrant.
  
  I have Gertrude Jekyll, lovely fragrance, very prickly stems. 'The Pilgrim', lovely pale lemon flowers. Anne Boleyn, apricot only planted last season. One really good one is 'The Generous Gardener', very strong growth, pale pink flowers, looks super at the back of a mixed border.
  
  My other roses include, Jacques Cartier, Noses D'Or, Galway Bay, Compassion, Penny Lane, La Reine Victoire, Charles de Mills, Veilchenblau,Rhapsody in Blue, Tuscany Superb,Queen Elizabeth, Ena Harkness, Margaret Merrill, Leslie's Dream and Flower Power.
  
  You know how some women sneak new clothes into their wardrobe - well I've never had that problem but... when it comes to plants I just cannot resist. We will never be rich but the garden is stunning!!

  Hello Jolly Strawberry - I am envious of your rose collection! Mortimer Sackler looks very nice, and quite similar to another rose I would like to get, called 'blush noisette'
  
  Do you know of any high centered hybrid tea roses that comes in a carmine/cerise/magenta colour?
  
  many thanks

  I think maybe Galway Bay may fit that criteria. If you google it you may find a photo. I have the climbing one on my pergola paired with a clematis called Andromeda. The two together are lovely. I have to say that this particular rose was purchased from one of these foreign supermarkets and cost practically pennies three years ago but has turned out to be a very good one.

  My grandfather loved a peach/orange coloured rose called Whisky Mac. It has the most unbelievable scent, I had one bloom in the sitting room of my old hous and it scented the whole room.
  
  It is on my list to buy one for my new garden, in memory of my granddad who loved gardening and passed his love on to me

  That's a very nice reason to buy this rose. I had this variety as a standard many years ago in another garden but it was snapped in half during a storm. It certainly is a super colour.

  Hello HappyDaffy
  
  I agree with Jolly Strawberry, a wonderful reason to get a rose. I am looking to get a standard peace rose as it reminds me of happy times at my family home, and is loved by my parents for that reason too. I think roses (in my case) bring out alot of emotion/memories and just the scent can take you back and make you think of special/emotive times in our life. And a wonderful way of remembering loved ones.
