What do reviewers say about Rose Absolue and Tea Rose?

Six roses from different origins, and tobacco to ground the whole garden. Some call it a rose soliflore. That's technically accurate and utterly insufficient.Rose Absolue

This isn't a rose that flatters you. It's the real thing, green stems, dewy petals, the whole plant. Chamomile keeps it medicinal-cool, and the drydown stays woody rather than sweet.Tea Rose
