Hybrid Tea Roses

This is the most popular class of rose and outsells all other types. Flowers are large and shapely, generally producing one flower to a stem. Some will be better suited to the NW climate and will perform extremely well with proper care and pruning. Many thousands of varieties have been produced since the first rose appeared in 1867. The first tea roses came on tea boats bound for England from India.

Floribunda Roses

Floribundas have clusters of smaller, usually cup-shaped flowers. They generally produce more flowers than hybrid teas, so they are showier in the garden. Pinch out the center bud when the cluster is formed and all the flowers will open at once - a more pleasing effect. These roses are frost hardy, disease resistant, abundant flowering and low maintenance. They thrive in a wide range of soils and climates and their easy care allows you free time to enjoy them. Plants usually grow 2-3' high.

English Roses

David Austin's English roses have become a subject of great interest and are now in big demand both in Europe and the United States. These new hybrids are the result of crossing old roses with modern bush roses. Their form and flower, delicacy of coloring and rich fragrance can be compared with the Damask, Gallica and Alba roses of years ago. But unlike those, they flower repeatedly throughout the season and have a wider color range.

Shrublet Roses

Shrublets are roses with varying habits which are never too big to tuck into restricted garden spaces. These roses are called 'shrublets' because the flowers are individually smaller with proportionately smaller foliage. Shrublets bloom abundantly, have a good disease resistance and a high level of hardiness. Shrublets look attractive in the landscape with merely a light shaping rather then a hard pruning.

Tree Roses

A 2' - 3' or 4' stem is grafted onto a hardy root stalk. The rose itself is then grafted onto the top of the stem. These roses are very elegant when used as a feature among other plantings. Tree roses make a nice vertical statement in your garden. Extra winter protection is needed for the tree to survive. Different heights are available. The shorter trees are great on your deck in pots and patio containers. We also carry a double grafted tree with the first graft at 18" and another graft at 36" which creates a two layered tree. These plants give you a lush topiary look with twice the number of blossoms of conventional rose trees.
