The Seven Groups Of Roses

Good morning just thought this might be of some help to our members

Hybrid Teas the most popular group.the flower stems are long and the blooms are shapely.The typical hybris teas have blooms which are medium or large with many petals forming a distinct central cone.The blooms are borne singly or with several side buds.

This is a fine example.

Warm Wishes

 

Floribunda Roses this Rose bears its blooms in clusters or trusses and several blooms open at one time in each truss.

This is a good example

Shrub Roses a large group of bush Roses with only one thing in common- they are neither hybrid teas or Floribundas.the typical shrub is taller than the a bedding Rose.and is a species variety(related to a wild Rose)an old fashioned variety(dating back to pre Hybrid Tea days)or a modern shrub Rose.

A good example of this

Patio Roses a group which appeared in the 1980's and now contains many popular varieties.These low growing varieties were formerly grouped with Floribundas and they are a compact version of this group.Patio Roses grow about 50 centimeters high and make good container plants,they are also good for the front of the border.

A good example of this

Flower Power

 

Miniature Rose both flowers and leaves are very small and normally only reach a height of 40 centimeters and can be used in front of borders,containers and rockeries or used indoors as temporary pot plants.

A good example of this
Stars and stripes

 

Ground cover Roses also appeared in the 1980's these spreading repeat flowering Roses have very good disease resistance.

A good example of this

Scented Carpet

 

Climbers and Rambler Roses A group of Roses which with support can be made to climb.Ramblers which have long pliable stems/canes with trusses of small flowers and only flower once. Climbers with stiff canes and are repeat flowering with large flowers.
