Regulus

Regulus, Moureau Robert 1860

Tea 

Parentage unknown 

A very beautiful and elegant Tea this Regulus. Silvery very light pink petals with darker reverse. A good strong fragrance is present. Makes a rounded shrub of approx 120X100 cm or 4X3 feet. Zone 6b to 11b. Loves sunny dry weather

However: Many experts came to the conclusion that the current "Regulus" in commerce is in fact Triomphe de Luxembourg, also a Tea. After very close examination they argue that the flowers, leaves and even the thorns are identical to Triomphe de Luxembourg. No worries, that's an equally beautiful rose.
