Rosa 'Teasing Georgia' (aka AUSbaker) is a yellow blend shrub rose cultivar, bred by British rose breeder, David C. H. Austin in 1987 and introduced into the UK by David Austin Roses Limited (UK) in 1998. 'Teasing Georgia' is part of the David Austin English Rose Collection and named in honour of German journalist, Georgia Tornow.
'Teasing Georgia' is a medium-tall, bushy shrub rose, 4 to 5 ft (1.2–1.5 m) in height, with a 3 to 4 ft (0.91–1.22 m) spread.[2] It has a strong, tea rose fragrance. The flowers are medium in size, 3 to 4 in (76–102 mm), and very full (40+ petals) with a cupped, quartered bloom form. They are borne mostly solitary or in small clusters.[1] The color of the rose is a blend of yellow with light apricot shading and light yellow edges. 'Teasing Georgia' blooms in flushes throughout the season. It has a lax growing habit, is disease resistant and not prone to blackspot. Leaves are medium-sized, semi-glossy and dark green. In hot climates, the rose can be grown up to 12 ft (3.7 m) as a climbing rose.[3]
