Review of popular varieties and types of garden roses

Flowerbed roses (large-flowered and multi-flowered)

In flower beds, we often plant remontant varieties of roses. They are distinguished by large, strong bushes, growing up to 1.5 - 2 m, large double fragrant flowers. Their main advantage is re-flowering. In the 19th century, as soon as they were bred, these were the first flowers that could bloom more than once per season. Among them, most are red and pink, less white, orange roses are rare, and yellow roses are very rare. Among them there are blooming all summer, and there are those whose repeated flowering is much weaker than the first.

When we crossed tea roses with remontant roses, we got a wonderful look of hybrid tea beauties. The bush grows from 0.5 m to 0.2 m tall, large double flowers are distinguished by their grace and pleasant aroma.

Hybrid tea roses bloom magnificently from the beginning of summer until the very frost, the color of the flowers knows no restrictions - there are red, white, yellow roses, yellow-pink and cream. Since they are often grafted onto rose hips, they produce wild root shoots that have to be dealt with by cutting out the seven-leafed shoots.

Polyanthus, or multi-flowered varieties delight with long flowering - from mid-June to the coldest days. They can grow up to only 60 cm and form neat bushes with small leaves. Their flowers are also not too large, up to 5 cm in diameter, simple and double, collected in large inflorescences of different colors, mainly red, pink and white, yellow roses are less common.

Floribunda and grandiflora are distinguished by the richness of color, the variety of the most amazing colors, which cannot be found in ancient roses. It's not that yellow roses, lilac, lilac, coral, orange of different shades delight the eye, and their flowers, resembling hybrid tea in shape, are collected in inflorescences at the ends of the branches. They bloom very luxuriantly all summer long.

Curly roses

Climbing plants are those that can form long shoots that cannot themselves attach to anything, so they need to not only be placed on supports, but also fixed on them. Although the Japanese multiflora, which breeders are very fond of crossing with tea, with remontant, with hybrid tea varieties, can cling to the support with its curved thorns. All of them are conventionally divided into semi-climbing with a height of one and a half to three meters, climbing - from three to five meters, curly - from five to fifteen meters.

The multiflora shoots grow up to 7 meters, at least in China, they are very powerful and strong, but flexible. Large dark green leaves and very small, but very numerous flowers form a beautiful plant mass, blooming and fragrant. Its varieties are striking in their endurance, they are not scared by either bad soil, or winds, or partial shade. They show excellent disease resistance.

The modern climbing varieties are based on a hybrid of the oriental evergreen beauty Vihurana rose and the multi-flowered roses of Europe. Abundant small flowers on thorny branches, dark green glossy leaves - a meager description cannot replace luxurious fragrant bushes, it is clear why all of Europe is in love with them. But unfortunately, the genes of the evergreen rose do not allow them to winter in our conditions, which are too harsh for such delicate creatures.
