Types of Roses.
Hybrid tea and floribunda are modern bush roses. They produce masses of flowers, sometimes richly fragrant, in colour shades of white, cream, yellow, pink, red, crimson, purple and orange; some are striped, bi-coloured or multi- coloured. Hybrid Tea roses are usually upright and vase-shaped with large pointed flower buds and bear each flower, or small clusters, on a single stem. Floribunda roses are rounded and bushy and produce blooms in large clusters.
Shrub roses are a diverse group of roses that are thornier than modern bush roses.
Climbing roses have long stems and a vining growth habit, allowing them to climb up trellises, walls, and fences.
