Common Types of Roses
Once you gain a sense of the type of roses that you would like to plant, you will naturally want to
know which type of rose’s best fit your ideas for planting. There are too many to list here, but I can list some of
them for you. You should consult your nearest garden center for advice on whether your choice is fitting to your
garden’s abilities.
Landscape RosesLandscape roses are great for the novice gardener. They are disease resistant, and require
a little bit less maintenance. Hybrid teas are not good for the novice.
Climbing RosesThese roses are different from the regular roses that are planted as they are trained to
grow upward like vines. Most people like to use these for trellises, or buildings. Some of them are hybrid teas,
wichuraine, and large flowered climbers. They are a beautiful addition to the look of one’s house.
Shrub RosesShrub roses like the beautiful rugosa are both long blooming, and disease resistant. These are
also great for the novice planter. They are gorgeous even when they are not in bloom because the foliage is so
pretty.
Old Garden RosesThese roses are not very good for those with severe allergies to strong fragrances because
they have a strong fragrant odor. However, they are disease resistant and continue to bloom for months at a time.
The Modern RoseThese are very special roses because they are the result of cross breeding the hybrid tea
with the polyanthus. They are also referred to as Floribunda. They are a beautiful combination of the best those
two flowers have to offer. They are long blooming, fragrant, and they are great for cutting.
Miniature RosesMiniature roses are exactly what they sound like. They have all of the fragrance and beauty
of a regular rose, but they have smaller blooms. These particular roses are great for indoor planting.
