Roses are amazing. At different times of the year some roses can look completely different. In different climates they can look completely different.
A great example of this is the Tea rose ' Monsieur Tillier'. Some people will argue that it really should be 'Archiduc Joseph', but for my purposes, unless proven wrong I will go with the name I bought it under, of Monsieur Tillier.
I bought this rose in 2003 and then transplanted it in 2015 and again in 2016.
It has been a rose that has taken quite a bit of neglect and some moving around.
'Monsieur Tillier' was introduced in France in 1891, and 'Archiduc Joseph' in France in 1892.
Just this person's thought, what if it is the same rose, just introduced by two competitors under different names?

After looking at those pictures it seems easy to say those are all different roses. We may never know what the correct identity of this rose is, but does it really matter? |
