Shrub Roses
Visit Our Garden Center for Shrub Roses
Shrub roses are bred from several rose species from all over the world
and result from crossing the old-rose type with modern roses. They are
durable, easy to care for, and attractive. Their hardy growth is often used
for landscaping, which takes little to no maintenance. Most species of shrub
roses are repeat bloomers that bloom in clusters, which make them good for
screens, hedges and mass planting. They rate high with the American Rose
Society.
Examples of Shrub Roses:
