St Francis Xavier

I was wondering if anyone has tried this rose. It was a new introduction at Ross Roses last year. In the back of my mind I think it has Teas in its parentage???? But then again I could be just inventing that. Anyway I'm just wondering if there is any feedback on this rose yet.

Thanks

Sally

The name has a vague familiarity about it Sally but I can't for the life of me remember where I read about it.
Sorry I can't help you with it.

It was introduced by Ross Roses in their 2004 Australian True Blue Collection.You were right Sally,parents are Francis Dubreuil and General Gallieni.Lovely picture, "mulberry red large ruffled bloom with outstanding perfume,1.2m tall".
Hopefully I'll have one to plant in June.
Pam.
