Climbing Rose

Climbing Rose

The acrobats of the rose world, climbing varieties develop long canes well adapted to

training on pillars, fences, arbors, and gazebos. Most climbing roses are mutations or

variations of bush-type varieties. They develop either large, single flowers or clustered

blooms on a stem. Climbers may bloom once a season or continually, depending on

the variety. Climbers can be trained to bloom more heavily by leading their canes in a

horizontal direction. Loose anchoring to a support will encourage young plants to climb.

Floribunda rose


 
Rosa selections

Floribunda rose

Floribunda roses offer a bouquet on every branch. The small flowers look like

elegant hybrid tea blooms but appear in clusters instead of one flower per stem.

Floribundas are a cross between polyantha species roses and hybrid teas,

combining hardiness, free flowering, and showy, usually fragrant blooms.

Sizes of these hardy roses vary from compact and low-growing to a more

open habit and heights of 5-6 feet, ideal for tall hedges. The foliage on

floribunda roses tends to shrug off diseases, making for a low-maintenance

plant that delivers maximum impact with its continuous bloom cycles.

Most floribundas require very little spring pruning -- just removal of dead or

damaged wood.

Grandiflora rose


Rosa selections

Grandiflora rose

Grandiflora roses blend the best traits of hybrid teas and floribundas.

They produce the same elegantly shaped blooms as hybrid teas,

but in long-stemmed clusters that continually repeat,

like floribundas. The plants tend to be tall (up to 7 feet), hardy, and

disease-resistant. Because of their size, grandifloras are suited to

hedging and flower-border backgrounds. This rose category was

created to accommodate the unique 'Queen Elizabeth' rose introduced

in 1955.

Groundcover rose


Rosa selections

Groundcover rose

A new breed of landscaping roses came about with the advent of

shrub roses, which offer beautiful ways to fill in borders and cover

bare earth. The low-growing groundcover roses are useful for mass

planting in a border or under a tree, and to mix colorfully with perennials

or shrubs, line a path, cover a slope, or to be planted in hanging baskets

or window boxes for a bloom-spilling display.

To reinvigorate groundcover roses each year, cut back the plants by

two-thirds while they are still dormant in early spring. 

 

Hybrid tea rose


Rosa selections

Hybrid tea rose

Hybrid teas traditionally produce the showiest blooms. In fact, most

roses at florist shops are hybrid tea varieties. Today's rose breeding

emphasizes fragrance as well as plant vigor. The form of a hybrid

tea rose is tall and upright, with sparse foliage toward the base.

The blooms develop singly on long stems, and the buds are often

as elegant as the open blooms.

Hybrid teas require careful pruning while still dormant in early spring

to ensure good air circulation through the plant and development of

vigorous, healthy canes. A sunny location with well-drained, fertile

soil and rose food applied at least three times a season will guarantee

abundant flowers to enjoy in a vase. Protect roses in climates colder

than Zone 6 with heavy mulching around the base of the plant.

Miniature rose

 Miniature rose 

Gardeners limited in space can enjoy all the fun of rose growing

by cultivating miniature roses in containers. They also adapt well

to flowerbed edging, front-of-the-border socializing with perennials

and annuals, and low hedges.

Miniature roses first came into being in the early 1930s as an

accidental result of rose hybridizing. Since then, master

miniaturists have created many jewel-like varieties featuring

perfectly shaped tiny blooms on clean, healthy plants that

generally stay under 2 feet.

Miniature roses respond to all the care basics of regular

-size roses -- deep irrigation, sunshine. and regular fertilizing

-- but they do need extra winter protection in colder climates.

To ensure the plant doesn't die back to the roots, in Zone 5

and below, bury the rose plant in a mound of soil.

Shrub rose


Rosa selections

Shrub rose

Shrub roses take the best of the hardiest rose species,

and combine those traits with modern repeat blooming

and diverse flower forms, colors and fragrances. Some

shrub roses may grow tall, with vigorous, far-reaching

canes; others stay compact. Recent rose breeding has

focused on developing hardier shrub roses for

landscaping that need little to no maintenance.
