Heirloom Roses
Historic rose varieties that existed and were introduced before the year 1867, when the first modern hybrid tea rose was bred. Also known as old garden or antique roses.
Major Classes of Modern Garden Roses
Hybrid Tea
The classic, elegant florist rose, they grow one single, picture-perfect bloom on a long, sturdy stem. A historic mix created by crossbreeding fragrant, continuous-blooming tea roses from China with showy European hybrid perpetual roses.
Floribunda
A massive party of flowers, the term translates as “many-flowering” in Latin. These shorter, bushy rose plants grow abundant, dense flower clusters.
Grandiflora
Created by breeding a Hybrid Tea with a Floribunda, the name means “large-flowered.” They combine the gorgeous, elegant shape of the Hybrid Tea and with the cluster-blooming style of the Floribunda to create a super-sized showstopper.
Shrub
These tough, carefree utility bushes were bred for maximum hardiness and easy maintenance. They combine wild species resilience with modern continuous blooming to create full, rounded hedges.
