Roses comes this vigorous Floribunda that produces powerfully fragrant, double flowers on stems up to 5". Blooms are simply packed with lush pink petals tinted in lavender, and vigorous plants can hold their own in the mixed border, where they combine beautifully with purples and blues.

Eglanteria/Eglantine

'Sweet Briar' rose, a species, famed in the famous poem by Shakespeare in "A Midsummer's Night Dream".The hybrids of Rosa eglanteria have mostly single-petaled blossoms with foliage scented strongly of fresh,green apples.This rose is once-blooming producing bright red hips in autumn.

We regard this as one of the most beautiful of the English Roses. The flowers are quite large and of exquisite formation - the petals turning up at the edges to form a shallow saucer filled with small petals. The growth is ideal, being of medium height and bushy, with nice foliage and little disease, making it in every way an excellent garden plant. It is sweetly fragrant - a charming and delicate Old Rose scent. Named after Eglantyne Jebb, the Shropshire woman who founded the ‘Save the Children’ charity fund.

Ramblers Rose

In general,once blooming hybrids of Rosa wichuraiana which are characterized by long, sprawling, pliable canes which can be trained as a climber or left to cover wide areas.

 Vigorous growers,ramblers bear cluster of smallish blossoms in a dramatic display followed by orange-red hips.Their leaves can have a susceptibility to mildew.

Setigera(Rosa setigera)

Sometimes called the "Prairie Rose" is a Native American species bearing sweetly fragrant single-petaled roses in white to pink in midsummer followed by rounded red-orange hips if there are both male and female plants present.

A popular example of a hybrid Setigera rose is 'Baltimore Belle' introduced in 1843.

Moss Rose

An old garden rose. Moss roses are so named for the mossy-like growth on their penduncles and sepals which give off a pine-resin scent when touched.

 Moss roses are a genetic mutation of a Centifolia (and possible Damask) and are available in a variety of colors.

Floribunda Rose

This is a modern rose, a cross between a hybrid tea and a polyantha, with each stem producing cluster of large blossoms. 

The term "Floribunda" was coined by a hybridizer for Jackson & Perkins, Dr. J.N. Nicolas.Floribundas have the upright,loose habit and shape of a hybrid tea, not the lax, dense, sprawling habit of a polyantha.

Climbing Rose

Roses don't officially "climb" as they do not grasp or wind any tendrils or leaves.However, they may throw out very long canes which can be trained along a support. Climbing roses can include: Mordern Large-Flowered, Pillar, Ramblers, Noisettes,Hybrid Moyesii.

Climbing roses are good candidates for "pegging",that is anchoring part of the long cane to the ground thereby increasing flowering along the length of the cane and possible rooting it to create an additional plant.
