The yellow tea rose is one of the most fragrant types of roses in the world. This bright yellow flower has a very rich history and was originally hybridized in 1867 by Jean-Baptiste Guillot of France. Since it was originally hybridized, the yellow tea rose has gone through many different changes and can now be found growing all over the world. Today's yellow tea rose is different than the version Jean-Baptiste Guillot originally grew back in the late 1800's. Today's flowers are brighter, larger, and tend to bloom longer than in years past. Here are some interesting facts about this beautiful flower.
