Someuil

A Tea rose of likely French origin from around 1850, 'Someuil' is celebrated for its exquisitely refined quartered rosette blooms of pure cream-white, with petals arranged in precise geometric layers that have served as a model for countless later varieties. A clean, fresh Tea fragrance accompanies the blooms, which repeat through the season. It can be trained as a modest climber in warm climates. Cold hardiness is limited, as is typical of Tea-class roses; in colder regions, container growing with winter protection indoors is the recommended approach. Hard pruning is not suited to this variety — light tidying to maintain its natural, graceful form is sufficient. Its quiet, classical elegance makes it a particular favorite among devotees of old garden rose aesthetics.
