Kinds of rose

Roses are typically grouped into one of two big categories: old roses and current roses. Old roses are those varieties bare or developed prior to the preface of the mix tea rose in 1867. But like all else in the world of roses, when it comes to influential how a particular rose should be confidential, it’s not always crystal clear. It is in general agreed that "old roses" include kind or wild roses; alas; Bourbons; moss roses; China roses; Anisette; Portland roses; Saragossa roses; Scotch roses; licentiates; hybrid mellifluousness; damasks; Gallic’s; hybrid perpetual; tea roses; and musk roses. Those confidential as modern rose varieties are hybrid teas; Florinda; polyandrous; grand floras; miniatures and dwarfs; current shrub and landscape roses; climbers and ramblers; and Saragossa hybrids. Why choose an old-fashioned rose over a contemporary hybrid? Many of the old rose varieties offer more scent, more complex and interesting blooms, greater disease fighting, easier care and more interesting forms. But modern roses can offer all-season blooms, and a much broader range of colors and flower forms. Some are also far more cold- hardy and disease-resistant than any of the old-fashioned varieties. They can be hard to grow without an magazine of chemical dusts and sprays. This may seem like an odd consideration, but it's important if you are growing roses for cutting. The traditional florist rose is a hybrid tea, and it is the only type of rose that flowers on a long, stiff stem. All other roses have shorter, weaker stems, which give them a more casual—some suppose more gorgeous—presence in a pot.
