Teasing Georgia Rose

This is the ‘Teasing Georgia’ rose.  It took us a while to identify it.  I got it from another gardening friend that couldn’t remember what she had given me, but we are certain now that it really is the ‘Teasing Georgia’ and NOT a ‘Generous Gardener’.

The ‘Teasing Georgia’ is an English rose introduced by David Austin  in 1998.  It has an ARS rating of 7.3.  This is a very tall rose and has arching canes with flower buds coming off the top, which makes it great for pegging.  It is loaded with blooms all season long and has a beautiful scent.  Mine was getting so out of hand that I had to prun it way back this year.  I hope to get an arbor up sometime soon for it to go over.
