Classes of Roses

There are two general classifications of roses based on landscape use and growth habit: bush roses and climbing roses. Bush roses are self-supporting and grow upright. They range from 6 inches (miniatures) to 6 feet in height (grandifloras). Climbing roses produce long, vigorous canes that must be provided with support to keep them off the ground. They may
grow to 20 feet or more in length. Bush and climbing roses have many landscape uses.
