A Shrub Rose reminds you of a cottage rose, your grandmothers
rose bush and the wild roses you see in the country. Shrub Roses
are closely related to those old fashioned roses but they have
been improved to have a longer season of blooms for your garden.

Shrub Roses are hardy in most climates and have a natural disease
resistance - making them a perfect choice for beginner rose growers.
Some will have the 5-7 petals of a wild rose while others have
many petals of a romantic English Rose. These versatile roses
can be planted to make a hedge of roses, used as a focal point
in the garden and some will trail to cover an embankment.
