Until 1976, there was no such family as a hybrid tea rose in floristry. It was initiated by the La France variety, which was bred in 1867 by the French breeder J.-B. André Guillot, who decided to cross a tea and a remontant rose. However, according to Guillot himself, this variety should have been called a hybrid bourbon rose. A common feature of all hybrid tea roses is that during flowering, not even the slightest pause occurs.
