Roses
are favored around the world. The rose species grows throughout
the Northern Hemisphere, and many fine hybrids have been developed
from them. They will grow in all climates except
those that are extremely cold or hot.
Rose
cultivators (varieties) vary greatly in flower color, bloom frequency,
and growth habits. There are many different cultivators and thus,
there is a rose for nearly every garden situation. Rose cultivators
are grouped by parent-age, growth habits, or flowering characteristics.
The established groups are Hybrid Tea (HT) and Grandiflora Roses;
Hybrid Perpetual (HP) Roses; Miniature or Dwarf Roses; Floribunda
and Polyantha Roses; Climbing Roses; and Shrub Roses. The Shrub
Roses include the rose species and related cultivators.
