    Good morning just thought this might be of some help to our members:smile:

    Hybrid Teas
    the most popular group.the flower stems are long and the blooms are shapely.The typical hybris teas have blooms which are medium or large with many petals forming a distinct central cone.The blooms are borne singly or with several side buds.

    This is a fine example.

      Floribunda Roses this Rose bears its blooms in clusters or trusses and several blooms open at one time in each truss.

      This is a good example

        Shrub Roses a large group of bush Roses with only one thing in common- they are neither hybrid teas or Floribundas.the typical shrub is taller than the a bedding Rose.and is a species variety(related to a wild Rose)an old fashioned variety(dating back to pre Hybrid Tea days)or a modern shrub Rose.

          Patio Roses a group which appeared in the 1980's and now contains many popular varieties.These low growing varieties were formerly grouped with Floribundas and they are a compact version of this group.Patio Roses grow about 50 centimeters high and make good container plants,they are also good for the front of the border.

          A good example of this

            Miniature Rose both flowers and leaves are very small and normally only reach a height of 40 centimeters and can be used in front of borders,containers and rockeries or used indoors as temporary pot plants.

                  What a choice there is with roses, I love the above rambler. Could you do a similar thing with pinks ( carnations ) at some point?

                      Good afternoon @Oakapple my friend I do apologise but my knowledge of Carnations/Pinks is very limited all I can advise you to post any questions you have in the "General Gardening" Forum and some of our more knowledgeable friends(Members) will provide the answer for you I am sure:smile:

                      If you put Carnations in to the search box and tick "Search Titles Only" this will take you to all the Carnation posts/Threads

                      thanks for the info, I was reading about Hybrid Teas & Floribunda Roses, and started to try an work out what group my Climbing roses fell into , this thread has explained very easily that my climbers are a group in themselves and that a few other groups exist.
                      Very new to roses so just having a browse about
