Modern Shrub Roses. A Diverse Family.

Called such because they are of such mixed parentage that there is not a particular group with which any have strong affinity. They are indeed a mixed bunch with few similarities except that they largely possess the qualities strived for by modern hybridists, health and freedom of flower.

Colours, styles, size and type of flower are across the board. Some are scented, some not very much. Most grow to above three feet and some can be adapted to climb in the right sitauation.

In short, by scouring the ranks of the Modern Shrub Roses there is a variety for every situation and taste.
