The sun is shining, the garden is beginning to dry up after being ankle deep in mud - and I am thinking of roses! In fact, I planted a new one yesterday after being forced to wait for the ground to dry a bit.
The first time I came across Hybrid Tea roses was when my parents decided to buy a dozen to line our front garden - more years ago than I care to mention! Before that - roses were roses - we had several ramblers in the garden and these were the ones with which I was familiar. Having been involved with the choosing of the new roses I was keen to see how they developed and I have loved them ever since.
The first Hybrid Tea rose was produced by Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Guillot in 1867. He crossed a tea rose with another garden variety and produced an entirely new type this was called "La France". The new shape quickly became a favourite throughout the world and is the one we all recognise today..
The Hybrid Tea rose is the one used by florists as it has single flowers quite often on very long stems and usually fragrant. This also makes it a popular plant for the garden where it will happily flower right through the summer and, in fact, we have had them still blooming at Christmas.
There are a great number of HT roses and growers that sell them - and a huge variety in prices. You can buy pot grown bushes or bare root ones - and spend a fortune to get the latest variety or as little as £1.49 for a named older type - which I have proved are quite capable of being just as spectacular as their more expensive cousins - having bought both.
They are very hardy and don't seem to mind what type of soil in which they are planted. Ours suffer heavy clay quite happily and I have seen others growing in sandy soil just as successfully. The bushes are about 70-96cm (28-38 inches) although some will grow a lot taller if left, and should be planted 45-90cm (18-36 inches) apart. I choose to prune mine early in the year whereas a lot of people say autumn is best. As I also 'deadhead' the bushes right through the flowering time I feel that they are kept well in control. By removing the dead blooms (deadheading) it encourages the bush to produce more, thus extending the flowering season. It is suggested that by planting lavender between the roses that it will deter greenfly - I haven't proved this one way or the other.
There is a huge range of HT roses - with colours from white through to a deep red almost black. There are a few known as 'blue' although I have never managed to produce one in my garden - they all seem to look thoroughly dirty and I prefer to stick with the colours that look really good. I really can't say that I have one favourite - several, yes! For instance, I have grown several varieties of white roses but the one I like best is Polar Star which is a good clear white, has a perfect shape, darkish foliage and a nice perfume. Of the dark roses I love Deep Secret, no longer the darkest red you can get, but very vigorous and with a lovely strong scent. This is one of the bushes that will happily grow to about six feet - if you let it! Of course, most rose bushes will grow large if not pruned - but some, like this one, seem to grow much quicker than others whether they are cut back hard or not.
I really don't know (without going out to count) how many roses I have in the garden. I can say that there are bushes of one kind or another in every part of the garden. I can see at least three from the window beside me - one of which is Deep Secret, another being Just Joey which is a clear orange colour - again with a lovely perfume. I love to be able to go out and cut enough for a good display indoors - or to give to a friend who has none. There IS one problem however; I just can't resist buying more!
I hope that this will be of help and that you have enjoyed reading of my experiences.
Advantages: great to look at and smell Disadvantages: blackspot disease
Hybrid Tea roses are to most people the best kind of rose . They are usually fragrant , always eye catching and the flowers are of a good size.
Hybrid Tea roses do not flower so profusely as floribunda's but they make up for it in my opinion with better quality blooms.
It is like the old saying goes - it is better to have quality rather than quantity . Well it is in this case anyway !
The flower is the classic rose shape - many petals with a distinct ... ...floribunda's )
I reckon hybrid teas are slightly more tricky to grow well , though they are hardly difficult.Once you see the long pointed bud at the end of a stem - promising so much , you'll know even then you have made the right choice.
The range of colours is immense - ditto the fragrances . You'll never need buy another room freshener again in summer .
The downside of Hybrid tea's is that the blooms can often be ruined by bad weather and ...

Advantages: Great variety of flowers Disadvantages: Lots of thorns!
petals making them look as though they are double (as compared to the HybridTearoses that are so popular). They look like the roses seen in old paintings and are usually very fragrant. They don?t always have a very long flowering season however, tending to flower only at the height of summer.
The more modern shrub roses have a longer period of flowering. They come in a variety of shapes many of them being single roses ? similar to the wild rose. One favourite is ?Ballerina? which is cluster flowered with single flowers of pale pink and white. This is one of the shorter shrubs growing to about three feet. Another is ?Golden Wings? which is again a single rose in a bright yellow however, this bush can grow to about five feet if allowed to. One of my favourites is ?Canary Bird? which is also yellow and has large single flowers but ...

Roses
I read in a paper the other day that the rose had been voted the most popular as the gardeners favourite flower and I have to admit it's one of my favourites as a visit to my garden would show you the many varieties I have growing.
The rose has been popular since the middle ages, it was grown in monasteries for medical uses and also for their religious ceremonies. This was an old type of rose which was a cross between the French rose and the wild roses and of course the old Lancaster rose, after lots of cultivation and many years of rose growing there are now lots of different kinds of roses to choose from if you're a fan of this lovely flower.
Roses fall into different categories and these are the Hybridtearoses, the Old roses, the Floribunda, the Climbers or Ramblers, the Wild Roses and the Miniature roses.

Advantages: plenty of flowers Disadvantages: not as good quality as hybrid teas
There are five different types of roses . Floribunda's which are the second most popular group are our main concern in this opinion . So what is a floribunda rose ?
Well floribunda's bear their flowers typically in clusters rather than the singles usually of hybridtea's .
They are prolific flowering generally but it is felt ( and I agree ) that this type of rose lacks that little something to make it that bit more special .
Floribunda's are great roses don't get me wrong , but the classic picture of a rose that we all have in our minds eye is that of a single fragrant hybridtea I reckon.
It was Danish plant breeder Svend Poulsen who crossed polyanthus with hybridtearoses to create this new type of rose way back in 1924.
The general problem with floribunda's is the individual flower heads lack size , beauty and often ...
