[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband ordered a teapot for my birthday that matches the 4 teacups we bought a long time ago. It's from a Japanese collection and not easily found here. My friend got me Lavender Earl Grey from Mariages Freres in Paris.

So now I have a blissful Earl Grey moment in the morning when I use my teapot and the matching teacup.

Also, I like to smell my fragrant roses in my front yard.

❤️ It sounds divine. Both the tea and the fragrant roses.   May I ask what is the variety of rose that you are growing?

PP you replied to. I have a few fragrant hybrid tea roses that I baby, because they're not really made for our hot summers and clay soil. One that has done well in morning sun and afternoon shade is my favorite, Line Renaud by Meilland. The scent is incredible. You might have an easier time finding the climbing rose Zephirine Drouhin by David Austin. Bonus, it's completely thornless, so can be placed on your porch, where you can benefit from the scent. In general, it's much easier to find David Austin roses than the French Meilland roses, which is a shame, because Meilland is the best hybrid tea rose developer out there. Make sure you pick a resistant variety.

The tea is Mariage Freres Earl Grey Provence. The Earl Grey French Blue is also delicious.

OK, don't laugh at me: the tea set is a discontinued Noritake Studio Ghibli collection, for Hayao Miyazaki fans :-)

I’m a different PP who asked about the China pattern - I LOVE this so much! It is so pretty. Reminds me of one of my all time favorites, Wedgwood’s Mythical Creatures designed by the Kit Kemp. Noritake China is really so lovely![/quote]
