My late reply to Lynn52n, I was looking for further comments on Mr. Lincoln Tea Rose because I have one here in Houston, when I came across to this beautiful shot uploaded by SerenaSYH and her recommendation of Jackson & Perkins. I wish to add here that for quality of roses I will go to this nursery, but I thought I saw bare-root roses at Home Depot for less than $7.00 per plant early last month of February 2012 here in Houston. When I was still residing in Los Angeles some 10 years ago, I bought Princess Diana Tea Rose from Jackson & Perkins, and I was not disappointed for the quality and beauty of this rose. However, they are more expensive compared to the local nurseries around here in our area in Houston. I have Mr. Lincoln in my backyard here in north of Houston (USDA Zone 8b) left to us by the previous homeowner of this house, and it constantly gave us a thing of beauty and fragrance even during winter. I bloomed Jan. 13 and then took a rest for a while to bloom again this month of March 15, 2012. I will try to upload a few photos of the 1st and the 2nd bloom of this Mr. Lincoln tea rose here.
