The photo above is reasonably accurate, but the description of the colors is inaccurate. This rose is multicolored. Salmon pink predominates, with a pale yellow shimmering in the center. The rose needs very good pruning, otherwise it languishes. It also does without afternoon sun. No description does justice to the enchanting appearance of this rose.

Very good for mild zones / at least wine-growing regions
The review below is simply annoying, so I couldn't resist adding my own comment.

With tea roses you can't make 100% accurate photographs or descriptions. The weather, or rather the temperatures, influence their colours and shapes. The photo above is just as correct. Mme Leonie Viennot can even be fuller (almost quartered) and pinker. Sometimes just not.

For good success, warmth, warmth, warmth is important. In Germany at least a wine-growing region and a warm wall (or greenhouse).

Anyone interested in tea roses should travel to Italy or the southern United States to visit gardens there. Here are three books in English that I can recommend:
- Roses in the Southern Garden by G. Michael Shoup
- The Organic Rose Garden by Liz Druitt
- Antique Roses for the South by William C Welch

Last but not least, something very important about pruning: tea roses do not like being pruned (Noisettes also fall into this group). You only remove dead wood, or here and there a branch that sticks out like a stray strand of hair. Of course you cut the flowers, or not. You must on no account prune tea roses in spring like a climbing hybrid tea (i.e. leave only about three stems standing and shorten the side growth to two or three eyes). Otherwise the plants go into shock. The same applies to bushes. I once read a comment from a gentleman who "first cut his tea rose back really short" - I wonder whether it ever came back?

Nevertheless, this class is beautiful. Thanks to Schmidgartenplanzen for making this class available to us in Europe.
