What are some varieties of shrub roses?
Shrub roses is the designation given to a diverse group of roses that form dense, rounded shrubs. The flowers are borne in clusters over the whole shrub often from early summer until frost. Sometimes the terms “landscape rose” or “hedge rose” are used. Modern shrub roses are selected for disease and insect resistance. They have good heat, wind and drought tolerance. Below are some of the longer blooming shrub rose cultivars. AARS stands for All-America Rose Selections. Bonica — pink bloom, 3-5 feet tall and 4-5 feet wide.
