Shrub Roses
Shrub roses encompass a wide range of rose types which makes them a very diverse group.It seems that any rose that does not fit another category becomes a shrub rose and in turn their winter hardiness varies. Many shrub roses result from crossing old-rose types with modern roses and therefore combine the best traits of each.
With the Modern Roses such as the hybrid teas you gain a great range of colours, while the floribundas provide a bushier growth with a spray of flowers.Old Garden Roses give you the fragrance and the rose shrubs foliage tends to be highly disease-resistant.
There are some very useful roses in this group many are good for screens, hedges, and mass planting. Shrub Roses also make great single specimen plantings. Virtually all shrub rose bushes are repeat blooming. Hardy zones 5 to 10 with some hardier, and some less hardy.
