The Hybrid Musk Roses
This group of roses, varying widely in ancestry and description, were created by various breeders who crossed Species and other older roses with various types of modern roses. Freestanding and often recurrent flowering, Shrub Roses are useful in the garden as they are relatively carefree and vigorous, blooming later than most other roses. Although technically shrub roses too, the English, Rugosa, Explorer and Species Roses have been put in separate categories in our catalogue because they have distinctly different needs and uses.
Roses are available while quantities last. Varieties marked as 'sold out' may be available again next year. Remember to order early. More varieties will be available by summer.
Our prices may vary from season to season depending on the plant size. See the bottom of this list for Key.
