Shrub roses
Shrub roses are the easiest types of roses to grow, producing beautiful blooms across the plant without demanding much care and attention. Though the flowers aren’t as showy as more traditional hybrid teas, shrub roses require far less maintenance and are more resilient. Most shrub roses are the product of crosses between modern bush roses and species roses made over the course of the 1900s. They are available in a range of sizes but typically large (1.5-2 metres eventual height) and come in a wide range of colours from snowy white to deep purple. Shrub roses are tough and reliable with a graceful, shrub-like growth habit, often repeat flowering, and bringing colour and interest to the garden when most other shrubs have finished flowering. Hybrid Musk and Rugosa roses are often highly fragrant, whilst modern shrub and ground cover roses don’t tend to be scented. Consider English roses which are shrub roses too.
