1. SECTION A

Hybrid TEA Roses

​

Hybrid tea flowers are well-formed with large, high-centred buds, supported by long, straight and upright stems. Their flowers are usually borne singly at the end of long stems which makes them popular as cut flowers. Rose: Courtesy of Greg White

2. SECTION B

Floribunda Roses

​

Floribundas are a cross between polyantha species roses and hybrid teas, combining hardiness, free flowering, and showy, usually fragrant blooms. Sizes of these hardy roses vary from compact and low-growing to a more open habit and heights of 5-6 feet, ideal for tall hedges.

3. SECTION C

Grandiflora Roses

​

Grandiflora Roses are similar to Hybrid Teas in habit and size. They generally are tall plants that present their blooms in clusters, rather than as one-per-stem. They make excellent garden plants and are very popular as cut flowers.
