| Roses are those small wonderful miracles which touch
the heart and emotions in a way that a million words can’t
do. They make a wonderful gift , a bouquet or may be just
a single rosebud will touch the heart of the person who
receives your gift.
The original name for rose (Aeolic wrodon) comes from the
Persian name “vrda” which is “rhodon”
in Greek. The records for different species of roses show
that there are about 100 to 150 species, but the botanists
claim its more likely to be approximately 100 species.
Types of roses basically consist of three main groups of
roses: The Species; Old Garden Roses; Modern Roses.
The Species:
These roses are commonly referred to as "wild roses."
They are easy to identify due to the fact that they usually
have 5 petals, bloom once a season, and are often thorny
shrubs or climbers.
Very popular Species roses are: Cherokee
Roses, Dog Roses, Gallic Roses, French Roses and Red leaf
Roses.
This group of roses flourish in temperate climates, and
can be found throughout the Northern Hemisphere. |

| Old Garden Roses
Old Garden Roses only came to be identified in the late
1800's compared to Species roses which existed millions
of years before humans inhabited the earth. Old Garden Roses
mostly bloom once a season, usually at the start of summer.
It is common for this group to grow in several shrub and
vine sizes. Colors may vary, but this class is usually white
or pastel in color. Because they are easy to grow, this
group of "antique roses" are generally preferred for
lawns and home gardening.
Some of the Old Garden Roses include:
China, Tea, Moss, Damask, Bourbon, Hybrid and Perpetual
roses.
Many antique roses have a strong, sweet scent, which makes
them very popular.
Modern Roses:
Any rose identified after 1867, is considered a Modern
Rose, thus Old Garden Roses are seen as the predecessors
of Modern Roses. Very popular, This group is the result
of crossbreeding the hybrid tea with the polyanthus, which
is a variety of primrose. Most roses in this class will
flower repeatedly (with the proper care, perhaps that is
why horticulturists find this class so attractive.
Roses in this group are: Hybrid tea, Floribunda,
and Grandi-flora.
Although Modern Roses are adored by florists and gardeners,
they do require a little extra care, and prefer a warmer
environment.

Did you know that after a rose has been
classified into any one of the three main groups, it can
further be classified by color, scent, date of introduction,
growth habits and size. If you are starting out with your
rose garden, don't worry too much about the classification
- just start planting!
People are really fascinated about growing roses. But roses
are a species of flower which is one of the most difficult
to grow. They need high maintenance and proper regular care.
Roses should be pruned just before spring when the buds
start appearing on the branches. Roses need special care
during the winter months.
