Which Rose do I plant?

Posted on June 6, 2022

Types of roses

Picking a rose plant is a matter of personal preference. Do you want fragrance, a climber, lots of blooms, a certain bloom size, or a compact plant? Here are the types of roses and their basic differences so you choose the type that fits your gardening plan:

• Climbers: Vigorous, sprawling rose plants that need the support of an arbor, fence, or trellis to stay upright.
• Floribundas: Free-blooming shrubs that produce tons of flowers, usually borne in large clusters. One of the best types of roses for landscaping.
• Grandifloras: Vigorous bushes producing large, beautifully formed flowers that are more likely to be borne in clusters than one to a stem.
• Hybrid teas: The most popular type of rosebush, with beautiful long-stemmed flowers that are ideal for cutting.
• Miniatures: Small in leaf and stature but big in the amount of bloom. Grow only 4 to 36 inches high but make great landscape plants, especially as edgings and in containers.
