Old Rose Nursery - Shrub Roses: Modern Shrub Roses

"White Meideland"

Modern Shrub 

This group is somewhat of a catch-all and consists of generally healthy modern shrub, bush and landscaping roses, most of which are free-flowering, blooming throughout the summer. Not all are fragrant. Their tolerance of cold varies depending on their ancestry, so a little research is necessary to determine a variety is suitable for your zone. The smaller ones are suitable for container growing (check the "Other" column and key below).

Our Favourites: Sevilliana, Autumn Sunset and Westerland
See also Floribundas, English Roses and Hybrid Teas for other good bush roses.

Roses are available while quantities last. Varieties marked as 'sold out' may be available again next year. Remember to order early.
Our prices may vary from season to season depending on the plant size. See the bottom of this list for Key.

Varieties marked as 'N/A' will not be available for 2008
