Some Common Types of Roses
After you get a sense of the type of roses that you would like to plant, you will naturally want to know which type of roses best fit your ideas for planting. There are too many to list here, but I can list some of them for you. You should consult your nearest garden center for advice on whether your choice is fitting to your gardens abilities.
Landscape roses
Landscape roses are great for the novice gardener. They are disease resistant, and require a little bit less maintenance. Hybrid teas are not good for the novice.
Climbing Roses
These roses are different from the regular roses that are planted as they are trained to grow upward like vines. Most people like to use these for trellises, or buildings. Some of them are hybrid teas, wichuraine, and large flowered climbers. They are a beautiful addition to the look of ones house.
Shrub Roses
Shrub roses like the beautiful rugosa are both long blooming, and disease resistant. These are also great for the novice planter. They are gorgeous even when they are not in bloom because the foliage is so pretty.
Old Garden Roses
These roses are not very good for those with severe allergies to strong fragrances because they have a strong fragrant odor. However, they are disease resistant and continue to bloom for months at a time.
The Modern Rose
These are very special roses because they are the result of cross breeding the hybrid tea with the polyanthus. They are also referred to as Floribunda. They are a beautiful combination of the best those two flowers have to offer. They are long blooming, fragrant, and they are great for cutting.
Miniature Roses
Miniature roses are exactly what they sound like. They have all of the fragrance and beauty of a regular rose, but they have smaller blooms. These particular roses are great for indoor planting.
You can also ask your local garden center professional which types of clear sprays you can use to give your flowers a glossy look.

They are also referred to as Floribunda.
You should fertilize with a fertilizer that is slow to release like fish emulsion or Osmocote at planting time. See that was not so difficult was it? Roses look so beautiful in any room that they sit in. Powder Mildew You can put an end to powder mildew by making a mixture of 1 gallon of water 2 TBSP of baking soda 1 TBSP of Murphys Oil Soap Spray over the roses in the morning every two weeks until the overall temperature around the roses reaches 80 degrees.
