Rose Garden Guide

Welcome to the Tyler Rose Garden - "Rose Capital of America" We hope you enjoy your visit to the largest public rose garden in the United States. Our rose collection includes over 38,000 bushes and over 500 cultivars. The collection includes many types of roses from the traditional to new and hybrid varieties.

This guide will help you find your way around the garden and give you helpful information about the plants.

3 Main Rose Categories

While there are many varieties of roses, most rose specialists would divide them into three categories: Old Garden Roses, Wild Roses and Modern Roses. Most of what you'll find today in gardens are considered Modern Roses, which were bred to bloom large blooms continuously throughout the season, unlike an Old Garden Rose.

Old Garden Roses

Often referred to as "antique" roses and "historic" roses, the Old Garden Rose has been around since before 1867. Double-flower blooms emit a notably strong-scented fragrance, but they only bloom once per season, unlike Modern Roses. Since they are a time-tested variety, Old Garden Roses have evolved with the advantage of being extra hardy and disease-resistant.

Wild Roses

Considered the wildflower type of rose, Wild Roses, or "species roses," lack the cross-breeding history and hybridization of other modern varieties. Wild Roses typically have a single bloom with a five-petal flower. The easiest way to determine a Wild Rose is in their color-they're almost always pink! In fact, it's an anomaly to find a red or white Wild Rose. A yellow Wild Rose is extremely rare.

Modern Garden Roses

Modern Roses were bred after 1867, taking the place of heritage Old Garden Roses. As mentioned above, there are certain distinctions between the two. Where Old Garden Roses bloom once per year, Modern Roses offer a continuous bloom, as well as a larger bloom size. Florists and homeowners will love Modern Roses for their longer vase life, too. The only disadvantage to these Modern Roses is that they typically lack a robust heady fragrance and are less hardy and disease-resistant.

Rose Varieties

Within these three main categories listed above are a countless variety of roses. However, below are some of the more common ones you can find, along with their benefits and unique blooming features.

Alba Rose

As one of the oldest garden roses dating back to 100 A.D., alba roses are a hybrid style that offers tall, graceful bushes with cool-tone blue-green foliage. Their blooms, which perk up once around the late spring/early summer time frame, can often be found in pale pinks and crisp whites. One of the hardiest rose varieties, alba roses are disease-resistant, easy-to-maintain and can be planted and grown abundantly in both shade and colder climates.

Bourbon Rose

First introduced in France on the Île Bourbon in 1817, Bourbon roses are thought to be a cross between China roses and Damask roses. Bourbon roses feature wonderful full blooms, which can be found in a variety of hues and shades of white, pink and red. Bourbon blooms also lend a strong, heady fragrance, but not as pungent as the drink itself. Grow a Bourbon rose bush near a trellis and train it to climb and adorn the space with repeated blooms all season long.

Centifolia Rose

Centifolia roses, also known as "cabbage" roses, have blooms that, well, resemble a cabbage head. In other words, they have thin petals that tightly overlap, offering a unique texture. Sometimes, you may come across "Provence" roses, which are similar, named after the section of France where they were once grown.

Centifolia roses can be found in a variety of colors, such as white and pink. Their blooms often grow so large and proliferous that they weigh down the stem and appear to droop and nod off to sleep. With an exceptionally lovely scent, this specific rose variety is often used as an essential oil in perfumes and fragrances. However, enjoy it while it lasts because it only blooms once in early summer.

China Rose

A more exotic variety, China roses were introduced to the Western world in the late 18th century. As a complex group, this unique rose has benefited from hybridization immensely. China roses often emit a lovely fragrance and present compact and bushy blooms that come in various colors, such as bright reds, soft pinks and cheery yellows.

One of the most significant advantages of this hybrid rose lies in its resistance to diseases and its ability to have repeated blooms from summer to late fall. The one drawback to China roses is that their silky petals are quite delicate, needing protection during colder months and climates. The best way to grow these petite roses is in a small container, which you can bring inside at the end of the warm season.

Climbing Rose

Climbing roses are not a class, but more of a description. In other words, you may find grandiflora or floribunda climbing roses. Despite the name, climbing roses can't quite climb as efficiently as vines. Also referred to as "rambling" roses, they have sturdy and upright (sometimes arching) canes, which can be trained when provided support. However, these canes can grow up to 15 feet, which reach great heights along a trellis, garden fences and pergolas. In general, climbing roses tend to produce more flowers when grown horizontally rather than vertically like most rose varieties. Producing large blooms, almost all climbing roses are repeat bloomers.

Damask Rose

Damask roses are considered some of the most ancient roses, even originating in Biblical times. They are so old that there are two varieties: the Summer Damask and Autumn Damask, blooming in each season, respectively. The only difference is that the Autumn Damask (also called the four seasons damask) offers two blooms, both in the summer and fall. Damask roses come in a wide variety of colors, from bright silvery whites to deep pinks. Like the centifolia, Damask roses give off an exceptionally fragrant scent, which is extracted and used as an essential oil in perfumes and other scented items.

English/David Austin Rose

More commonly called David Austin roses after the British rose breeder, these roses come in hundreds of varieties. Quite popular among consumers and retailers alike, these rosette-shaped roses have the heady scent of an Old Rose variety, but also a continuous blooming as well as a broad range of colors like that of Modern Roses. David Austin roses are for more experienced growers and gardeners, as they are susceptible to diseases and less hardy, which takes more maintenance and attention.

Floribunda Rose

Floribunda roses are another favorite rose class. Similar to grandifloras, a floribunda rose presents a large cluster of flowers. With a continuous bloom, it will last much longer than the six- to seven-week cycle of hybrid tea roses or grandiflora roses. Floribundas are also much easier to care for and offer practically a hands-free experience.

Gallica Rose

Like the Damask rose, gallica roses are quite ancient. Some varieties even date back to the 12th century. Sometimes called the French or Provins rose, gallicas offer a lovely scent, which is used for perfumes. In addition, gallica roses are found in many shades, such as pinks, reds, purples and even with a two-tone white stripe. Sadly, their beautifully layered, tightly clustered blooms can only be seen once during the summer. A hardier Old Garden Rose variety, gallicas are tolerant of shady areas and colder climates.

Grandiflora Rose

Regarded as a subgroup class of hybrid tea roses with floribunda features, the grandiflora rose was created in the last century. The perfect combination between the two, grandifloras present elegant showy blooms that appear in clusters like the hybrid tea rose, and a constant growth cycle like that of the floribunda. Each cluster also consists of three to five blooms. Overall, their shrubs are larger and stand taller than hybrid teas. While not as popular as its close cousins, the grandiflora is still quite hardy and vigorous, so don't overlook it for your garden and landscaping.

Groundcover Rose

Groundcover roses, also known as "landscape" roses, are a rose variety bred to have the best of all worlds: a beautiful garden rose with a vibrant color, graceful formation and lovely fragrance, as well as a low-maintenance benefit. Groundcover roses are perfectly suited as a space filler, allowing them to sprawl outward as they reach no higher than three feet. As a whole, groundcover roses are both disease- and pest-resistant and offer continuous flowering. One of the best low-maintenance roses, these are ideal for novice rose growers and gardeners.

Hybrid Tea Rose

Hybrid tea roses are one of the most popular classes of roses, and it's not hard to understand why. With bountiful, ornate blooms that sprout from long stems and reach anywhere from 30-50 petals, the hybrid tea rose creates a dazzling display in any garden. And horticulturists have had quite the field day with them, breeding thousands of hybrid varieties. Outdated hybrids make way for the new on a constant basis.

Miniature Rose

A form of the hybrid tea or grandiflora rose, miniature roses and miniflora roses are typically shorter and a bit more compact. Miniature roses can grow anywhere between 15-30 inches, whereas a miniflora rose offers intermediate-sized blooms closer to the size of a floribunda.

Polyantha Rose

Similar to floribunda roses, the polyantha rose plant is shorter with smaller blooms. While this may not be suitable for some backyard landscapes, polyantha is perfect for edgings and hedges. It's not unusual to find these rose bushes completely covered in clusters of their small flowers with a prolific bloom that lasts from spring to fall. Polyantha roses also come in a variety of hues and colors, such as bright whites, lovely soft pinks and bright reds. A hardy rose, polyantha has remained a more popular option for novice gardeners and horticulturists due to their low-maintenance and disease-resistant qualities. Grow them in a small garden space or even in a container.

Shrub Rose

Shrub roses tend to sprawl wide and large, anywhere between five and 15 feet in every direction. Able to withstand harsh winters, shrub roses are notable for their cold hardiness. In addition, their blooms are produced in bountiful clusters. Shrub roses have several subcategories, one of which is the David Austin English Rose, which fits within the shrub rose category.

April Moon offers big, high-centered blooms bathed in pink tones so rich they almost look neon. The Native Americans ascribed a symbolic name to each full moon throughout the year, like the Snow Moon (named for the snow in February) or the Corn Moon (named for the harvest in September). The moon in April was known as the Pink Moon, because that was the time of year that wild ground phlox would bloom, carpeting the ground in bright pink tones. The April Moon hybrid tea is named after this moon because it, too, offers pink color so rich and bountiful that it will have you in awe. This child of the Elegant Lady and Beloved varieties gets its lovely form and color from its parents, as well as a vigorous habit and great disease resistance.

Crepe Myrtle

Thought clearly not a rose, the crepe myrtle is among the most satisfactory of plants for the South: showy summer flowers, attractive bark, and in many cases, brilliant fall color make them year-round garden performers.

Any Southern Gardener worth their salt lies on one side or the other of the great Crepe Myrtle Pruning War. We fall on the side of pruning, but it must be done correctly to avoid the dreaded "crepe murder"! Here are a few tips to properly prune these misunderstood beauties.

When pruning a crepe myrtle, don't chop your large crepe myrtles down to ugly stubs each spring just because your neighbors do. This ruins the natural form and encourages the growth of spindly, whiplike branches that are too weak to hold up the flowers. To reduce a crepe myrtle's height, use hand pruners or loppers to shorten the topmost branches by 2-3 ft. in late winter, always cutting back to a side branch or bud. For branches more than 2 in. thick, always cut back to the trunk.

There are some very useful roses in this 'Shrub Roses' group. Many Shrub Roses are good for screens, hedges, and mass planting. Shrub Roses also make great single specimen plantings. Virtually all shrub rose bushes are repeat blooming. Hardy zones 5 to 10 with some hardier, and some less hardy.

White Dawn

Long before the Knock Out shrubs came onto the scene, blackspot was already taking a beating from a certain climbing rose with the vigor and size of a mighty rambler. White Dawn was introduced in 1949, and its lush, healthy foliage gets almost as much attention as its double-flowered ivory white blooms and gardenia fragrance. This fast-growing rose is out to blanket trellises, arbors, pergolas, and fences with long, elegant canes. The flowers are often compared to gardenias, probably because of their soft white (a shade that used to be called moonlight) petals and rich, evocative gardenia scent. They sport perfect hybrid tea form, ruffling nicely as they slowly unfurl from a high center.

The child of New Dawn (a pale pink climber) and Lily Pons, White Dawn was introduced by American breeder L. E. Longley in 1949. We do not know why it isn't more widely used in American gardens, for its blackspot resistance sets it apart, and its vigorous rambler-like habit is a great boon.

David Austin Trial Beds

David C. H. Austin OBE, together with his eldest son, David J. C. Austin, owns one of the world's leading rose nurseries, David Austin Roses. Founded in 1969 and located on the Shropshire border in the UK, alongside their world famous rose gardens, the nursery is home to one of the world's largest breeding programs for garden roses.

David C. H. Austin began breeding roses as an amateur in 1947. Since then, he has attempted to realize his vision of creating an entirely new group of roses - the English Roses. By combining the charm and fragrance of the Old Roses with the wider color range and repeat-flowering of modern Hybrid Teas and Floribundas, he has introduced a new level of beauty to roses.

Today David Austin has released over 200 English Roses, many of which have won awards, both nationally and internationally, for their delicious fragrances and outstanding garden performance. Recently, English Rose 'Graham Thomas', received the highest accolade in the rose world when it was voted the World's Favorite Rose by the World Federation of Rose Societies and was inducted into the society's 'Rose Hall of Fame'.
