Types of Roses
New to roses? Need a refresh? No worries, we're here to help. Whether you want a classic fragrance, thousands of blooms, or tasty rosehips, there's a kind of rose to meet your needs and add beauty to your garden.
HYBRID TEA
A large blossom on a long single stem. The classic romantic rose. A cross between hybrid perpetual roses and old-fashioned tea roses. They are considered the most popular rose in the world and perhaps the most popular flower. Upright, well-branching habit.
Approx. 3-5' tall
FLORIBUNDA
This variety's small flowers have the appearance of elegant hybrid tea blooms but they are grouped together in clusters instead of one flower to a stem. Smaller plant than hybrid teas, but often larger than the shrub roses.
Approx. 3-4' tall
GRANDIFLORA
The grandiflora is a result of crossing a floribunda with a hybrid tea rose. One of the most popular rose types, especially known for large, showy blooms. The flower form of a hybrid tea rose but in clusters like the floribunda rose. Larger plant than hybrid tea roses.
Approx. 5-6' tall
DAVID AUSTIN
The look and fragrance of Old Garden roses with the repeat-flowering ability and wide color range of modern roses. The blooms are known for their layers and layers of ruffled petals that make them stand out from standard roses.
Approx. 3-5' tall, some climbing varieties
CLIMBING
Climbing roses can be either Old Garden varieties that usually bloom only once a season or modern varieties which will re-bloom like their parent roses, the hybrid tea, grandiflora, and floribunda. Keep in mind, climbing roses require a support structure.
Approx. 8-12' tall
GROUNDCOVER
Groundcover Roses are shrub roses with a low-growing, spreading habit and good disease resistance. They generally have smaller flowers and dense, hedge-like foliage. Excellent in mass plantings.
Approx. 18" tall & 2-3' wide
SHRUB ROSES
Highly prolific, shrubby growing roses. Usually the most disease-resistant, hardy, and much lower maintenance than other roses. Excellent in the landscape.
Approx. 3-4' tall
RUGOSA & SPECIES
Large, hardy, disease resistant roses. They are drought tolerant and need little care. Fast growing, colorful, trouble-free plants that tolerate salt and sea spray. They also provide seasonal interest with their colorful fall hips.
Approx. 4-6' tall
