Hybrid Teas (HT) and Grandifloras
(GR)
Hybrid Tea blooms are commonly high pointed with many petals
arranged in a circular outline. The plants generally grow three
to five feet tall. The stem growth is usually upright and
blooms are generally produced one to a stem. Grandiflora
blooms generally have a hybrid-tea type bloom which tends to
grow more than one to a stem. The plants are larger than
hybrid teas.

English Roses
These are the popular 'David Austin' roses. While
the flowers are gorgeous and the plants grow well and flower
well, few are anything like disease resistant in our
climate.

Old Garden Roses
Rose types grown or classified prior to the introduction of
the first hybrid tea in 1867. There is also a group of old garden
roses introduced after 1867 to the early 1900's. Some
classes of OGR bloom only once a year, in our area usually
about 6 weeks in
May and June (much longer bloom season than you get out of a rhodie!) These are the oldest classes - albas,
gallicas, damasks, most mosses, and pretty much all species
roses. Other classes repeat bloom, maybe spring and
then again in fall, maybe throughout the summer. These
are the newer classes, developed after the introduction of
Chinese roses: Chinas, Teas, Hybrid Perpetuals,
Bourbons, hybrid musks. Do some research before
purchasing - check out
HelpMeFind and
The
Antique Rose Forum for more information on specific
roses. Chinas and Teas are successfully grown in
Seattle and Portland areas, but may not get enough heat to
bloom in Olympia unless planted on a south-facing wall or
other heat-accumulating area.
