De Anza Blvd. (408) 252-3347 www.yamagamisnursery.com When you want to succeed…the first time! 10 Rose Categories Demystified Here at Yamagami’s, we arrange our roses into these categories: BUSH-TYPE ROSES ANTIQUES These are the old roses from which modern varieties were developed. As garden plants they are grown for their simple charm and beauty; they are famous for three characteristics: fragrance robustness and flowering only once or twice in a season; exceptions noted in descriptions. ENGLISH or AUSTIN ROSES One of the first great breeders of the modern rose was David Austin, an Englishman. His collection of shrub roses has come to be called the ‘Austin’ or ‘English’ roses. They were the first to bloom continuously through the season, and are still grown for their inimitable form, color and fragrance. (N.B. In the nursery, English roses are displayed in the Floribunda section.) EUROPEAN ROSES include important new modern roses from European breeders, particularly the French, such as the Meidiland and Generosa series. HYBRID TEAS The form of the Hybrid Tea rose has become an archetype. These roses, and no others, have overlapping petals enclosing a bud, which tends to project (i.e. “high centered” buds). Single blossoms are produced on long stems suitable for cutting, and are often fragrant. The plants themselves tend to be rather delicate, compared to other categories, and average 4-6 ft in height. They are grown alone as specimens, also in beds and borders. FLORIBUNDAS Blooms are small, borne in clusters of 5-10 flowers. The plants are generally more robust and disease resistant than the Hybrid Teas, hence easier to care for, but tend to be smaller, averaging 3-4’ in height. The main use of floribundas is for mass color, as few plants of any kind can produce so much color for such a long period. GRANDIFLORAS This relatively small and modern category represents attempts to combine Hybrid Tea form with Floribunda munificence. Blooms resemble the Hybrid Teas in form, but are borne in small clusters. Plants average 5-7’ in height. (N.B. In the nursery, Grandifloras are displayed together with the Hybrid Teas.) SHRUB ROSES In the main, shrub roses are the product of crossing various old species roses with modern roses in order to get large, gracefully spreading plants which flower continuously and require little attention-that is, ideal landscape shrubs. They vary tremendously in size and character. English roses are included in this class. MINIATURES These are diminutive roses that seldom reach more than 3’ in height. Flowers, too, are smaller, generally 2-3” in diameter. Their continuous bloom is great for adding color in the garden and in containers. CLIMBERS “Large-Flowered Climbers” are true climbing roses. Others (which is most) are generally sports of shrub roses-that is, chance offshoots which grow to uncommonly great lengths. All are best grown on walls and fences, training the long canes horizontally or in a fan-like manner. In this way, they will shoot and flower much more freely. The blossoms of many climbing varieties are long lasting and long stemmed, making them excellent for bouquets. TREE ROSES Tree roses are not a true category. Almost any variety can be grown as a tree by grafting the desired variety on top of a columnar rootstock. Hybrid Teas, Floribundas, and miniatures are most often grown in this manner. Tree roses seem to be less susceptible to disease. This is perhaps a result of better air circulation. Yamagami’s Nursery 1361 S.
