I can never get enough of Mrs. B. R. Cant. This old tea rose is such a stellar performer in our hot, humid climate that it newly astounds me each year. This plant only gets better each year. The full blooms are lush and many-petaled.
The buds are a perfect silvery pink that would look nice pinned to a tux.
The profusion of blooms is the most noticeable trait, especially in the first flush. I can't think of a rose that is more covered in bloom during the spring flush.
The leaves are a lovely deep green that set off the blooms to perfection. You see little disease. The yellow leaves on this plant are just the yearly shedding of old leaves to be replaced by new ones. Because of our mild winter this year, my specimen stayed green all winter long.
It makes huge flushes of bloom followed by a slight rest, but nearly always has at least a few blooms on it.
This is a picture to show the size of my plant. It's nearly 8' tall and about as wide. I have it against the front chain-link fence. I can barely smell the tea-like fragrance, but it's still detectable. Some people can smell this fragrance much better than others. This rose is just as care-free as the Knockout roses for me, but it gets far bigger. It makes a huge statement in any yard and would look lovely as a solo specimen in the middle of a large area.

Oh, Davy, that's a gorgeous specimen of MBRC. Now I know how much the shade is effecting mine's blooming. Yours is so beautiful, but I'm sorry you have difficulty with the tea scent. I do not and am very grateful. To me she has a strong raspberry fragrance with some dry tea in the background. Luscious.
This is beautiful woder if it can still be bought
My husband was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) four years ago. For over two years, we relied on prescription medications and therapies, but unfortunately, his symptoms continued to worsen. His memory,coordination, and overall strength declined, and everyday life became increasingly difficult.Last year, out of desperation and hope, we decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, we were skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, we began to notice real changes. His alertness improved, his movements became steadier, and he regained a surprising amount of energy and clarity.
Incredibly, he also regained much of his independence and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience he feels more like himself again, better than he had in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with CJD, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.
