• Climbers

  Climbers are a modern rambling roses group, which differs from those in repeat flowering both on previuos and this year's wood. We deliver bare root climbing roses in March and potted roses form the beginning of spring until late autumn. You can preorder roses all year round.

• Shrub

• Floribunda

  Floribunda roses belong to the same Modern bush rose group as Tea Hybrid, but are of a more rounded growth habit, a bit smaller blooms which are usually in clusters, while tea hybrids are usually flowering solo. Also, they are more suitable for worse growing conditions, sandy soil or exposed places.

• Tea Hybrid

  Modern bush roses

  Modern bush roses (Rosa) include Hybrid Tea roses and Floribunda roses. Hybrid Tea roses have double flowers, in single or small clusters with shapely, often scrolled flowers. Floribunda roses have double flowers in large clusters, usually with cup-shaped blooms. Flowers are all colours of the rainbow (except true black and blue), blooming over a long period in summer and early autumn. New cultivars often offer increased disease-resistance and vigour and will repeat-flower well. 

   Looks

  Modern bush roses produce masses of flowers, sometimes richly fragrant, in colour shades of white, cream, yellow, pink, red, crimson, purple and orange; some are striped, bi-coloured or multi-coloured. Hybrid Tea roses are usually upright and vase-shaped with large pointed flower buds and bear each flower, or small clusters, on a single stem. Floribunda roses are rounded and bushy and produce blooms in large clusters. 

   Likes

  Modern bush roses grow best in a sunny site. They like free-draining soil that is slightly moisture-retentive, ideally enriched annually with well-rotted manure or garden compost. They enjoy generous feeding (with a proprietary rose fertiliser) in spring and again in early summer.

   Dislikes

  Modern bush roses don't like shade or very light, poor or waterlogged soil. A windy site can lead to uneven growth.

   Did you know?

  All rose flowers are good for cutting but the large, usually double and fragrant flowers of Hybrid Tea roses with long upright stems and well-shaped flowers are great for flower arranging.

• Groundcovering

  Groundcovering roses are a rather variable group of roses that are, to a greater or lesser degree, wider than they are tall. Ground cover roses are characterised by smaller flowers and being particularly free-flowering, most repeating very well. 

• Miniature, polyantha

  Miniature roses grow to a height of between 30-45 cm, sometimes more according to growing conditions. They have been greatly improved in recent years and the newer varieties include some excellent bushy plants with prettily-formed flowers. They are useful for window boxes and tubs as well as very small gardens.

• Edible

  It is time to look at roses from a whole new perspective! While many people grow roses for sheer beauty of their flowers it’s easy to slip from mind that roses are in fact edible. Actually, they have been grown for their nutritious, medicinal and cosmetic properties for thousands of years. Rose hips are used to make jams and marmalades, while petals are used for teas, salads, different kind of confectioneries, vinegar, sauces and spices. The fact that this ornamental plant is used for food is not surprising at all. Rose family (Rosaceae) besides roses includes some of the most economically important fruit plants such as apples, pears, quinces, apricots, plums, cherries, peaches, raspberries, strawberries and almonds, so it’s easy to see how a most popular ornamental plant have found its way to your kitchen. In fact, chemical analyses have shown that some rose cultivars have higher nutritional value than some common fruits and vegetables. They are full of substances beneficial for human health such as vitamin C, antioxidants, sugars, proteins, lipids, tannins, pectin, amino acids and essential oils.

  When we started our research and breeding program for Edible roses, we have found that like in all other fruits, some varieties taste better than the others. Before conducting taste panel all our Edible rose candidates were tested for nutrients which later helped us to connect certain compounds to the aroma of rose petals. This led to development of roses with different flavours and textures – from silky sweet to refreshing citrus. Next step was to create perception of Edible roses, a task in which we were assisted by professional chefs from middle and top segment restaurants. This is where more than 100 selected varieties were narrowed down to less than a dozen – proving that only the very special ones are good enough to be called a PGR Edible roses.
