Types of roses

• Hybrid Teas and Grandifloras - Roses have flowers borne on long stems, either singly or with several side blooms (clusters). Most like typlical florist roses. Bushes are typlically tall and slender.
• Floribundas and Polyanthas - Roses have profuse ability to bear flowers in large clusters with more than one bloom on stems at any one time. Typically these roses provide massive colorful, long lasting garden displays and can bloom continually. Bushes are typically shorter and rounder.
• Shrubs - Roses typically have a sprawling habit and have clusters of flowers. David Austin, English and Romantica roses belong to this category and resemble old garden roses in shape, form and fragrance.
• Miniatures and Mini-Floras - Roses have smaller blooms size and plants are usually one to three feet in height. Blooms come both singly or in clusters. They are good as container plants or border plants.
• Climbers - Can be trained to grow against a wall, a trellis, a fence, an arbor or pergola.
• Old Garden Roses - Existed prior to 1867. The flower form can be quartered, cupped, globular or compact. Many only flower in the spring. Most are fragrant.
