Roses, the types and varieties of which are difficult to list, are considered the most beloved, and therefore the most popular flowers. They have been known since ancient times, as new varieties are constantly being created, and it seems that it is simply impossible to know everything about roses. But when we are going to settle the queen of flowers on our site, we want to know what roses are in order to choose the best varieties of roses for breeding. There are special varieties of roses for central Our Country, the Moscow region and for Central Asia. Another classification divides all varieties according to the color of flowers: yellow roses, orange roses, red roses, white. But the whole huge list of varieties of roses can be attributed to several large groups.
Bed roses (large-flowered and multi-flowered)
In the flower beds, we often plant remontant varieties of roses. They are distinguished by large strong bushes growing up to 1,5 – 2 m, large double fragrant flowers. Their main advantage is repeated flowering. In the XNUMXth century, as soon as they were bred, they were the first flowers capable of blooming more than once per season. Among them, most are red and pink, less white, orange roses are rare, and yellow roses are very rare. Among them are blooming all summer, and there are those whose repeated flowering is much weaker than the first.
When tea roses were crossed with repair roses, a wonderful view of tea-hybrid beauties turned out. The bush grows from 0,5 m to 0,2 m tall, large terry flowers are distinguished by grace and pleasant aroma.
Hybrid tea roses bloom luxuriantly from the beginning of summer until the very frosts, the color of the flowers knows no limits – there are red, white, yellow roses, yellow-pink and cream. Since they are often grafted onto wild roses, they produce wild root shoots, which must be fought by cutting out shoots with seven-part leaves.
Polyanthus, or multi-flowered varieties delight with long flowering – from mid-June to the very cold. They can grow only up to 60 cm, form neat bushes with small leaves. Their flowers are also not too large, up to 5 cm in diameter, simple and double, collected in large inflorescences of different colors, mostly red, pink and white, yellow roses are less common.
Floribunda and grandiflora are distinguished by the richness of color, the variety of the most amazing colors that you will not find in ancient roses. Not only that, yellow roses, lilac, lilac, coral, orange of different shades delight the eye, and their flowers, reminiscent of hybrid tea, are collected in inflorescences at the ends of the branches. They bloom very luxuriantly all summer.

climbing roses
Climbing plants are called plants that can form long shoots that cannot themselves be attached to anything, so they must not only be placed on supports, but also fixed on them. Although the Japanese multiflora, which breeders are very fond of crossing with tea, remontant, hybrid tea varieties, can cling to the support with its curved spikes. All of them are conditionally divided into semi-climbing with a height of one and a half to three meters, climbing – from three to five meters, curly – from five to fifteen meters.
Multiflora shoots grow up to 7 meters, at least in China, they are very powerful and strong, but flexible.
