Bush roses are divided in two broad categories: Large-flowered or Hybrid Teas and cluster flowered or Floribundas. The only difference between these bush roses is the number and shape of the flowers: large-flowered roses have a single bloom on each stem (the classic rose for cutting), cluster flowered roses have several flowers on each stem.

Also known as hybrid tea roses, large flowered deciduous rose shrubs are commonly grown in formal bedding displays, laid out with neat paths and edging. They are distinguished from other roses in that they carry their large flowers singly. The first blooms appear in early summer and repeat flushes continue into early autumn. In a formal bed, group five or six of the same cultivar together, and interplant with some standard roses to add some variation in height. These bush roses also combine well with herbaceous perennials and other shrubs in mixed borders. Read the rest of this entry »
