Laura Anne Hybrid Tea Rose

One extremely floriferous HT Rose that does not have blooms the size of dinner plates is Laura Anne. This fragrant rose with perfectly shaped peach/pink blooms with shades of orange has in fact more the habit of a floribunda. Bred by Anne G Cocker in 1992.
In our front garden a bed of fourteen of these roses has given a magnificent display for the past eight years with a single specimen of the HT Rose Buxom Beauty in the centre. Lets say no more regarding that one other than to say when the lady of the house is not watching It may accidentally be dug out.
Surprisingly Laura Anne which flowers in almost continuous flushes throughout the season seems not to have been met with the success of some others which perhaps may be less worthy.
Hardiness = Fully hardy
Height = 75/90 cm

I am particularly interested in the Laura Anne Hybrid Tea Rose, which I had before, but it unfortunately died. It seems Cockers no longer produce or stock this rose. I have also contacted the Royal National Rose Society and they say that it hasn’t been listed for at least 2 years. Do you know if it is stocked anywhere else?
Many Thanks
Dawn

Hello Dawn
I had also been checking out the availability of this Rose quite recently, unfortunately without success. A few years ago I did have to replace three of them in my front garden, perhaps Laura Anne is less robust than I thought. A magnificent floribunda which may interest you is L’aimant. http://www.roselocator.com/rose_locator/roses/grandiflora_over_100cm/186_laimant.php
