When Gertrude Stein said “A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose” in Sacred Emily, she had no idea what the American Rose Society had in mind on classifying roses. Roses are classified into two major categories: Modern Roses and Old Garden Roses. Modern roses are roses introduced after 1867 when the first hybrid tea “La France” was introduced. Roses before 1867 are called Old Garden Roses. There are so many classes of Old Garden Roses (OGR) so for simplicity, I have enumerated the most common ones.

I also love flower gardening. Here are few of the types i know. An old garden rose with a classic rose look is the Tea rose “Lady Hillingdon,” which is soft yellow in color. It has a rich, fruity in fragrance. Yellow roses do not grow well in cold climates.
ReplyDeleteHybrid Tea rose Alec’s Red is a fragrant deep crimson rose. Another Hybrid Tea is the sweet scented Red Devil which grows vigorous and bushy.
