~~~~~ ROSE VARIETIES ~~~~~





MINIATURE ROSES






Perfection on this scale can't fail to captivate! Miniature roses are the smallest of rose plants, growing anywhere from six inches to two feet tall. This rose type is hardy, flowers continuously and is perfect for container rose gardening, make lovely borders, and solve the space problem for those with a small yard or balcony. Miniatures are grown on their own root.







TREE ROSES



Tree roses are made up of a hardy root stock grafted to a long stem that is, in turn, grafted to a rose bush of various varieties at the top of the stem. They are very elegant lining a walkway or as a feature amongst other plantings. The tree rose is a lovely addition to the garden, but extra rose care is needed to insure its survival over winter.
