English Roses, often
called David Austin Roses, are a group of roses first introduced in 1969 by the
English rose hybridizer David Austin. He has tried to create roses that combine
the best elements of both Old Roses (roses introduced before 1867) and Modern
Roses (Hybrid Teas, Floribundas and Grandifloras). He wanted to create roses
that produced flowers with many of the forms of the Old Roses, such as cupped
and rosette-shaped flowers, usually with many petals. He wanted English Roses to
repeat flower well, like the Hybrid Teas and other Modern Roses. He wished to
bring forth English Roses in a wide variety of colors, such as yellows which are
not common among the Old Roses. He also sought to include the strong fragrances
of some of the Old Roses. English Roses
are often classified as Shrub Roses and some make good overall landscape plants.
Romantica Roses Bred
in Provence, these new French hybrids have old fashioned flower form but differ
from English roses in that the shrubs are smaller and upright, similar to hybrid
teas and floribundas and retain the lovely old-fashioned look and fragrance,
while blooming throughout the growing season. Heirloom Roses says of
Medilland’s “Romantica” roses, “they awaken the senses with their regal
voluptuous shapes and sensuous fragrances. The name “Romantica” reflects the
French period of intense, emotional artistic creation in opera, art, music, and
sculpture - hence the names of famous romantic authors, painters, and characters
form operas.”
