The timeless elegance of roses makes them a favourite among gardeners. Choosing the perfect rose bush for your garden can be tough with so many diverse types and varieties available. Let us help simplify the process for you! Below we will go over some of the amazing roses we carry at Vermeer’s.
Hybrid Tea Roses
Hybrid tea roses, recognized for their tall stems and pointed buds, come in a range of beautiful colours. The blooms also have varying degrees of fragrance. Did you know? The city of Welland has a namesake hybrid tea rose! This stunning rose bush produces mildly fragrant, light apricot-coloured blossoms.
Grandiflora Roses
Grandiflora roses are a unique cross between hybrid tea and floribunda roses. These rose bushes proudly display large, eye-catching blooms. These blooms, appearing either in clusters or on single stems, can enhance the beauty of any garden. Standing tall, grandiflora rose bushes can reach heights of up to six feet.
Climbing Roses
Technically, climbing roses can be any type of rose (hybrid tea, shrub, etc.) as they have been bred to have strong, long canes. Because of their ability to climb, they are an excellent choice for arbours, trellises, fences, and pergolas. Most varieties will grow six to twelve feet tall and spread three to four feet.
David Austin
Back in the 1950s, a man named David Austin embarked on a mission to create a more beautiful rose. He did this through selective rose breeding, a careful process that resulted in the creation of English roses. David Austin roses are known for their breathtaking blooms and delightful fragrances. They come in different forms, including shrubs and climbers, offering variety to rose enthusiasts.
