Red roses are definitely my favorite! Especially the deep red varieties, such as Birthday Present and Red Planet.

Mascotte Red Rose...This rose could have easily been put under the Pink Roses section. However, the one pictured is more red than pink, and the actual bush itself looks more red to my eye.
The shades of pink vary from the aptly named Brilliant Pink Iceberg through to the subtlety of Nancy Steen.
This is a sport of Proberg, and bears no resembelance to the original Iceberg at all.
I just can't find a bad word to say about this rose. Lovely subtle hues of coral to salmon pink,fading to white, disease resistance, and a lovely perfume.
One of the strong points of Pink Parfait is its resistance to disease. Just plant it, and wait for beautiful blooms, how easy is that?!

The Blue Sky rose has a good strong fragrance, and unusual coloring - not quite blue as the name suggests but more mauve.
I can't say that the name Betty Boop does a lot for me. But there is no denying the flower...stunning. And would you believe that the 2 pictures on this page are from the same bush?

The rose has been around in one form or another for millions of years (about 70 in fact). Most of the varieties that we see in our gardens today, developed from wild roses that were brought over from the middle east - the china rose is in fact still with us today.
Wild roses are perhaps a little plain to look at, compared to their modern cousins. Generally smaller single flowers in various shades of pink, they have one outstanding feature. The attractive red hips produced in the fall.
The early or old rose history can be divided into two distinct groups. The Oriental roses which includes the Tea rose and the China rose, and the European roses - damasks, alba, gallicas etc.
1820 was about the time that crosses between European and Oriental roses began. This was the beginning of a whole new era in roses - my favorite!
There are two main types of modern rose - the Hybrid Teas, and the Floribunda. While there are others, these two make up the bulk of what is seen in gardens today.
White roses, the symbol of purity. Pictures of white roses, including iceberg, scentasia, and Sally Holmes.
Surely the best known white rose, a large specimen of Iceberg is a georgeous sight!
The official version of this rose gives the color as light yellow to white. However, every specimen that I have seen has been white, with a yellow center, as seen in the accompanying photo.
The Kent white rose. One thing I like about this rose is the tendency to discolor the petals to a lovely pale pink. This is quite noticeable on the accompanying picture.
From what I have seen, this rose is prone to many diseases and pests, so bear that in mind before planting one.
All rose colors carry a significance, and the yellow rose is no exception. To give someone yellow roses signifies....
This is certainly one of the more flamboyant of the yellow roses. Thick leathery petals, a delightful perfume, and nice dark green foliage - this one has it all!
Lawrence Johnston, a lovely single yellow rose.
David Austin did the rose world a great service, with his introduction of the English Rose varieties. The Pilgrim is one of his best, in my opinion.
Timaru, in the south island of New Zealand is lucky enough to have possibly the largest collection of old roses in the southern hemisphere.
The rose pictures on this page are ones that dont fit in the other color catagories. Orange roses, multi-colored roses,and a few other unusual colors
Doris Tysterman, a hybrid tea - descendant of Peer Gynt. A lovely orange rose.
I have been able to find out very little about this Rose. Im not sure why, but there appears to be very little documentation on Horburns, so if anyone can provide details about it?
There are 3 roses that go by the name
Tequila sunrise is an award winning rose, and it's not hard to see why. I love roses that change color on the petals, the way this does. Not a great deal of fragrance, however. These roses look spectacular when mass planted.
Growing roses doesn't need to be difficult. Roses from cuttings, budding roses, or pollination, it's up to you.

Loving-Memory is a hybrid Tea, bred by Kordes in 1981.If there is a slight drawback to this rose, it is that it can be a little susceptible to hard frosts, perhaps not the best variety to grow in harsh climates.
Chevy Chase - a lovely red climbing rose, bred by N.J.Hansen in 1939.
