Thanks Windeaux, so it is. I had done a search on Vintage and came up with nothing, but just now found it by going down the list. It's listed under "Hybrid Teas - Custom Root". Thank you also for linking the thread on the discussion of "St. Helena Cemetery Very Double HT". I was going to say that it answers my original question, that is IF "Arcadia Louisiana Tea" is the same rose. Evidently Vintage doesn't think they are the same as he still lists both roses separately. Also describes their bush sizes as different. However, "Arcadia Louisiana Tea" is certainly close to the rose I have, especially if you allow for differences in climate. Plus roses can 'morph', so to speak. For instance, the Prairie Sunrise I got from Sam Kedem years ago has many more petals and tends to quarter where the specimen from Chamblees does not. All in all I'm very glad to get this much information. Thank you all so much!

Hi, finally catching up on all these great responses. It is a gorgeous flower and worthy of much conversation. I discovered it only insofar as it was a component of a wildflower seed mix from American Meadows that I sowed on a late afternoon just before a snowstorm in December 2016. By Spring 2018 many gorgeous perennials and biennials had grown from that seed packet, including our beloved blue flax. On the American Meadows page, it calls it "Linum perenne" but elsewhere says "This species is named "lewisii" in honor of Meriwether Lewis..." so I'm not sure if it's L. perenne, the old world native, or L. lewisii, the American native. But apparently sometimes L. lewisii is called L. perenne var. lewisii just to make things interesting. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a drainage issue, though many plants right next door to it made it through the winter just fine. (A notable exception was a Penstemon 'Prairie Dusk', and of course all penstemon need really good drainage.) Katob, good eye with noticing the Siberian Wallflower growing right next to it, and it came in the same seed mix. Apparently depends on the growing conditions it can act either as a biennial or a perennial, and sadly for me it was a biennial, just blooming in 2018, then, along with its neighbor the Blue Flax, returned to the dust from whence it came. That gorgeous blue and stunning orange were the highlights of my spring garden last year. I don't know yet if I have seedlings to carry on the tradition.

I have only one double which I always thought was Replete. But now that I see Flower Parade, I think that may be what I have. Had them for over a decade and other than the first year, they've always broken my heart. I get minimal buds - 3 or 4 from the original dozen - and they usually fall off before they open. But even if they don't fall off, I have not had any open for years. Once I figured out it was bud blast, I started cutting them and bringing them indoors to open. This year there were 4 buds so I cut two. The two left of the plant eventually dropped off but the two inside opened beautifully.

9-7-2023: Just for fun, on a beautiful cool morning, I took some pictures (uncaged) of the two trees, A. psuedoseiboldianum. They both look to be quite healthy considering the abnormally long hot season we've had here. Yesterday we received 4/10" nice steady rain, and right after I had watered some. This morning it was down to 39df. That's 60d colder than a few days ago when temps hit 99-100 as it has many times this season. (There were frost warnings in the far northern parts of the state). #1 tree: The two good things I can say about this tree, is it's not a seedling anymore at 3-1/2' tall with increased trunk girth, and it isn't a 'stick' or whip anymore with at least 6 new horizontal branches from this season. Just not real showy yet except for the promise of good colors. #2 tree: Has put out new growth in numerous directions with even more girth increase than #1 tree. Both are still a little shy of getting full, all-day sun but I've had worse experiences with plants and hopefully this will improve with more root development as time goes on. ;-) I didn't water either one near as much as I did last year, when I kept them pretty moist almost all the time. This season they went several times, in the hot sunny weather, without watering, for up to 7 days at a time, and the soil was getting fairly dry by the time they got watered again. Along the lines of 'Water deeply but infrequently' so this should've given them more opportunity for roots to develop than the season before. ;-)
