I love the Teas you're growing,
because you already have a good selection of light to medium pinks, and apricot with Lady Hillingdon,
I suggest
-'Etoille de Lyon' because a yellow rose will brighten the landscape. It has pretty foliage with a slight glaucous hue, that complement the hue of its creamy yellow roses.
or for a more dramatic effect;
'Clementina Carbonieri' a lovely Tea that, that is the most richly colored Tea.
It can range from predominantly cerise, to pink with rich golden hues.
I was delighted to see photos of the woman it was named after at helpmefind.com

Luxrosa

You don't like Duchesse? Mons.Tillier is quite large and so is Mrs. B.R.Cant. Lady H and Maggie are about the 6'x3'.I love Cramoisi Superieur. Also a smaller rose that looks great with any rose is SDLM.

Marie Van Houtte is very pretty, and has maintained a nice form for me.

In the last year or so I have bought many more, but they have not yet had the benefit of time, except for William R. Smith. Carnation is a Bermuda rose and very pretty, and Beauty of Rosemawr is also pretty. Beaute Inconstante is also pretty.

I am not even going to re-read this or I will add revise, add revise.

Sammy

Sammy, I have tried to like Duch. de Brabant, but just really can't. The form seems off, sorta sprawly, and I'm not real crazy about the blooms. Also, here she is not tall enough for the group, not enough of an upright grower. Maybe it is just the specimen I have that isn't that great, but 5 years is enough to see she needs to go, at least to different spot in the yard. Are Marie or William about the 6'x3' upright form? You frequently mention Cram.Sup., and if it does so well in your yard, it might work for mine.

Luxrosa, Etoille de Lyon sounds lovely, as does Clementina Carbonieri. Seems like I have looked at CC before, but hestitated due to questionable hardiness in my zone. I will look again.

Marie and William both have good form. Cramoisi sort of sprawls, and is technically a china. I read something about Marie being called William R. Smith in Europe. I have one rose in the front and one in the back, and cannot easily see what the difference is between them.

I need to be careful when I recommend because some of my roses are way in the back where to grow feely and sprawl is a good thing. I love CS, but it does not have the vase form that Marie and William have.

Also anymore I am thrilled to have a rose that is healthy and does not need spray. I am not nearly as particular as I was when I sprayed.

Sammy

Thanks Sammy, I will have to try CS in another application. I hear you recommend it alot, so it really must be good in this part of the country.

Etoille de Lyon sounds beautiful, how big does it get and does it have upright form? If not, could anyone suggest a hardy in zone 7 yellow tea,(not apricot) that gets about 6' in an upright, vase form?

We have found Etoile de Lyon to grow wide, as well as tall.
YMMV, but I will say that ARE sells a nice Etoile.

Jeri

We love Gilbert de Nabonnand, and he has the added bonus of being almost thornless, so we put him in places we wouldn't want a thornier rose. Lovely warm blush blooms.

I second G. Nabonnand, especially after having seen a mature specimen 2 weeks ago in a private garden. Although mine is young, it is already becoming a favorite. It is close to perfect for me: beautiful repeat blooms, healthy, and THORNLESS. My GN is planted between Mutabilis and Old Blush and that series has worked well in my garden.
Molly

I really like the blooms of Gilbert Nabonnand, but I am not having much luck growing him. The first specimen I had died during its first winter. The current one is not doing well, growing "down" instead of "up". Could be it is shadowed by its towering neighbors. It has not been vigorous. May be to cold here.

I cannot comment on a couple of yours since mine have not experienced a winter.
G. Nabonnand is very pretty. Etoile de Lyon is not sure it wants a no spray garden. Someone else posted that it always looks dirty, and I am wondering about that. I am afraid that it may be that thrips like it too much.

Sammy

Monsieur Tillier is doing beautiful at this time as is Madame Lombard. And that Maggie, she just keeps on looking lovelier every year. Covered in blooms.

P.S. Sammy, I did not like Etoile de Lyon for the same reasons you state. It seemed to enjoy fungus to the point of always looking neglected, a vagabond in the south, perhaps.

How large does Mme. Lombard get??

I live in a different zone from you....I am in zone 9. Mme. Lombard is a Big Rose for me. A band, planted in 2006 (early...like in February) is now about 7' tall. Nice rose.

Jerome

I have Duchesse de Brabant and I'm not that happy with her either, sorry to say. The bush is nice, sprawling 20 feet along a wall, but the balling and the mildew are just too much to bear for the reward of a rather indistinguished pink fluffball, in my view. I would replace it, but the bush is like 70 years old, I just couldn't.

I am really enjoying my Teas right now (October). Mine are still small, but, many are really blooming beautifully. Some of the stars include

Mrs. Foley-Hobbs
Blumenschmidt
Gilbert Nabonnand
Hovyn de Tronchere

Robert

Greybird, don't know about your zone, but the flowers on my Maman Cochet are to die for. She's supposed to be a big bush. Mine is in the ground 13 months so I can't tell you anything about her growth habit, but a prettier, fuller bloom will be hard to find.

Sherry

I wonder if Mme Lombard would get good sized here, I hear a lot of good things about her. Does anyone grow here in zone 7?

Sherry, I have thought to get Maman Cochet many times. I wonder about the growth habit, can't have one all sprawly in this particular spot.

I am still up in the air as to which to order, can't really tell if they will be good sized as well as upright here. Can't have any short and sprawly, I will be planting close. I am planting along a fenceline in my back yard. I hope they will sorta grow together to form a large hedge.

Greybird,for the most part we have seen Maman Cochet to be reasonably upright.

Jeri

I used to have Mme Lombard....my neighbors complained she was blocking their view (I live on a corner) I was told I could keep the rose but would have to keep her at 2 feet...I found someone to come and get her...I miss her, she was very nice.
Also very nice is Georgetown Tea....does anyone know who that really is?
Mme Lombard was 6x6...I think about 6 years old.

How about Mrs. Dudley Cross? She's thornless and has beautiful yellow blooms right now, with pink edging, has nice form (almost HT like sometimes) and is tallish.

Thanks to all who responded, I have narrowed them down to a list of the best contenders. Look at these:

William R. Smith
Madame Lombard
Maman Cochet
Mrs. Dudley Cross

I have seen these recommended many times, I think they will do nicely. Any last comments before I commit?

I don't remember all of the conversations here. Maman Cochet is taking off slowly for me, and I am not sure about disease resistance.

Even though Mrs. Dudley Cross is a sport of Marie Van Houtte, she does seem to black spot a little more than Marie. I am hoping that as she gets older, she will become more resistant.

I love my William R. Smith. I think you will enjoy your selection, and am looking forward to reports about your roses.

Sammy

Rosette DeLizy is yellow with that upright shape. I know I'm a bit late here.

Not really yellow. ('Rosette Delizy')

It's a red/buff bicolor, with red on the outer petals. It's one of those roses that darkens to red as the bloom ages -- and weather does affect it.

I think the darkening is related to UV exposure. When mine is blooming during a stretch of cloudy weather or rain, the yellow lasts longer and there's little red. When blooms are forming and opening during a dry sunny stretch, they are almost completely pink, blushing to red as they finish.

So this may be why Sheila's blooms are more yellow, and Jeri's blooms are more red.

:-)

Beautiful photographs! Sheila, yours doesn't look very tall yet but is blooming like crazy. Mine has been taking long breaks, but then nothing much is blooming except for the usual few suspects. Hopefully that will change when the cooler weather sets in. I am so looking forward to getting some new roses as I'm bored with everything I have. I'm very excited about Florence Bowers which I hope will turn its part of the garden into a bower of beauty. Of course that may take a few years, but gardening is nothing if not waiting, and waiting.......

Sheila -- I have the ARE clone, too. I think it's the best.

Sheila, may I build a little hut in your garden? Those photos are heavenly. There's a softness, warmth and sheer beauty in that mix of colours. Your wall is exactly the colour I wish I had had my house painted. Trish

Thank you for the kind thoughts all. My RdeL is probably 4 ft now and headed up, Ingrid. Some other Teas are doing the growing horizontally first, but this one is upright. I'm surely looking forward to your Florence Bowers too, Ingrid. I just love Jeri's photos and no doubt will need one here too. I was surprised when I bought this "Maiden's Blush" house, Trish. Somehow this color had never crossed my mind for a house before. Once I did, I just love it. I'll have to go to Italy and see more Italian houses in a year or two. I did buy "Maiden's Blush" too now and told my husband it is "Nymph's Thigh", so no doubt he'll be very fond of it too.

Sheila, it is (in the unexpurgated version) "Blushing Nymph's Thigh" when "Emue" is added back in. Your husband should love it even more.

Cath

Oh, much taller than I thought, but then everything in your garden grows so fast. It's so obvious that your plot is not sitting on decomposed granite. Your roses are doing wonderfully well!

Sheila, your RDelizy is gorgeous! I had cut back on growing Teas due to our soggy, blackspot-prone climate. This year's unprecedented hot, dry season makes me wonder if I shouldn't rethink my decision even a little bit. Teas are just so darn remontant and romantic! Your photos remind me of all the reasons I love them! I think you and Jeri are spot on. ARE's RdL is really good. I'm going to scroll back up and gaze at your photos again.... Carol

I gotta go digging in the photo archives and post some photos of Rosette Delizy. It has become one of my favorite Teas. Got ours from Roses Unlimited...don't know which clone strain that would be. They're magnificent, vigorous, Gigantic plants. Push out a lot of new basals here too. If we watered them more, I think they'd bloom continuously. We do irrigate, but during the summer, probably just enough to keep them alive and not declining.
