Shrub
Roses
There are
lots of different forms of roses in this category. The thing that links them
all is that they grow into bushy, less formal plants.
They have a
huge range of flower shapes, including the large old fashioned ones.
Some have
great hips and many have very sweet scents.
Some can get
very big (over 6ft) and some stay small and compact. We have split our shrub
roses into three size bands:
Small - up to
3ft (90cm)
Medium - 3-6 ft (90-180cm)
Large - over 6ft (180cm+)
You normally
grow these in amongst shrubs and other plants or as single specimens on their
own. Treat them just like a summer flowering shrub.
Some only
have a short flowering period (May - July) whilst others will flower through to
the autumn.

bed.
